Should you bundle it with Deno, not Node, as Deno is also a rust project?

#12Hey - I am nothingismagick aka Denjell, one of the founders of Tauri, and will do my best to answer your questions about the project, rust, wasm, etc. https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri
Does the project contain C++ code?
They use whatever is the system WebView on the platform you run the code on. On Windows that's the Edge engine, on MacOS it's Safari's engine, etc. Those are all some combination of C and C++.
See https://github.com/tauri-apps/wry
Edit: s/IE or Edge/Edge

#14A step towards the right direction, I am curious how it performs in relation to Ultralight[0]! [0]: https://github.com/ultralight-ux/Ultralight
Tauri distributables are still 10 times smaller than Ultralight. Regarding performance will have to do some reviews.

https://tauri.studio/en/docs/about/intro
The core is built with Rust and the CLI leverages Node.js
maybe make this text a bit more explicit? I'm guessing maybe you're using a message passing layer to keep the processes separate?

#15I don't get the push for rust as a front-end language, it's very distracting with a lot of low-level features.
Can we just stick with "best tool for the job"?
Rust for performance-critical systems and, say, typescript for front-end? Using a single language for everything is a wet dream that always ends up in complexity and more work as you're fighting the "native" ecosystem.

#16I’ve seen this before, and I still have no idea what it does.
If it’s an electron alternative, is it too much to ask to show an image of a webapp running on a desktop (preverably a variation of every OS) front and center on the landing page?
I’d like to see it working immediately, without needing to watch any videos.

We don't bundle with node. We bundle with rust.

that's a great idea.

what if I don't like typescript
