Thanks for the link. Seems like it isn't ready for general usage yet.

Wasn't familiar with it, looks interesting.
Some animations are painfully slow, though. After opening a menu[0], it takes a long time to close once you click outside.
How well does it work without JS? I assume that's how the ripple effect is implemented.

Edit: they have documented what works and what doesn't with JS disabled here : https://github.com/beercss/beercss/blob/main/docs/JAVASCRIPT...
That file hasn't been updated in a while. Not sure if nothing has changed since then, or if it's outdated.

It seems similar in concept to Haxe, but focused on writing libraries which are then called from the target language, rather than building your whole application in Fusion. Is that correct?
How are exceptions translated to languages which don't have exceptions, like C?
The amount of targets seems impressive, but I don't see anything resembling a standard library. Usually, it's in the standard library where diverging behavior between targets shows up. Haxe's documentation tends to cover those issues, and lets you know when a behavior is target-dependent, or unspecified. They do try to be consistent between targets whenever possible in a performant way.
Loreline[0] is a recent project which leverages Haxe to build a cross-platform library. Is there a similar project showcasing how Fusion can be used for that?

There's QuickJS, LLRT, Rhino, and GameMaker is about to get TS/JS support.

I remember reading that article some years ago.
Boy, wasn't I surprised when I ran into this PR. I'm excited.

Is it possible to merge it, but keep it disabled by default? This could allow users to play with it on Bun while maintaining the expected behavior of JSC.
Maybe a separate build could work too.

> This isn't true, but I understand why you feel that way.
By all means, I'd be happy to be proven wrong. Last effort I saw on this direction was node-gui + React. I believe that project isn't being maintained. Being able to use something like Vite to build desktop programs would be a blessing.

QML doesn't have a way to define interfaces with JSX and doesn't integrate with the wider JS tooling. From my very limited experience, it still feels too close to the C++ world.

I think Qt is only missing well-written, feature-complete bindings for a major JS runtime, including support for hot reload.
Developing UIs without hot reloading is too painful.

From what I can tell, they do full page reloads when visiting a different page, and use Preact for building UIs using components. Those components and pages then get rendered on the server as typical template engines.
