"custom version of React he publishes..." It is not a a custom version of React but rather extension of DOM model by just these: 1. Native JSX support. In Sciter QuickJS was extended to support JSX literals out of the box: https://github.com/c-smile/quickjspp/blob/master/quickjs-jsx... 2. Native methods: - Element.patch(...JSX expression...) - native VDOM reconciliation implementation. - Element.append/prepend(...JSX expression...) - DOM population by JSX - Native support of lifecycle "events": componentDidMount/WillUnmount and componentUpdate. Surprisingly, these are enough to allow to use pretty much all ReactJS functionality, and with native speed. And without the need for any external libraries.

In fact 1.8 Mb is quite a lot for QuickJS. My Sciter engine that includes as QuickJS as HTML/CSS engines is about 6 Mb. My port of QuickJS [1] that also includes persistent storage (think of MongoDB built into JS) is 736 Kb on Windows. [1] https://github.com/c-smile/quickjspp

I might go a little offtopic here. Any plans to integrate https://github.com/c-smile/quickjspp. That way you can target mobile platforms too. QT supports mobiles well As for desktop only this is great. Great work. Many people are commenting on NodeGUI only. They have forgotten to mention how Svelte also contribytes to saving memory footprint and cpu cycles over other frameworks with a much easier way to write apps. Add a small learning curve to that.

Just in case someone interested. Mithril works as it is in Sciter.JS Yet this: JSX = m; // let's use Mithril as a driver of JSX expressions enables built-in and native Sciter's JSX extension to work with Mithril: See demo: https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk/blob/main/samples/m... Sciter.JS uses QuickJS with JSX parsing extension added : https://github.com/c-smile/quickjspp/blob/master/quickjs-jsx... . It is significantly easier and effective to add JSX as part of native JS parser rather than to have monstrous JS-parser-in-JS infrastructure of Babel.

Just in case, I've published yesterday demo build of Sciter.JS that also has binaries for Raspberry Pi (ARM32). See: https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk (screenshots are there too) Some stats: Binary size : 3.7 Mb (RPI version) HTML: HTML5 level of markup language + "HTML Window" extensions, see: https://sciter.com/html-window/ CSS 2.1 + selected modules of CSS3, see: https://sciter.com/docs/content/css/cssmap.html JavaScript: full ES6 specification + extras like built-in JSX, see: https://github.com/c-smile/quickjspp Again, Sciter.JS uses time proven and well known technologies in a fraction of size.

You can use this fork for msvc support: https://github.com/c-smile/quickjspp

c-smile (author of Sciter) maintains a MSVC compatible fork https://github.com/c-smile/quickjspp/

C-smile (OP) ported Fabrice Bellard's gcc code to standard C (without gcc extensions). The Sciter engine currently uses TIScript - a language c-smile orginally developed and the kickstarter proposal is to open source Sciter as is, then replace TIScript with the QuickJS engine. (TIScript is a very nice scripting language in itself that is easily picked up by JS devs) The standard C version of QuickJS can be compiled using visual studio on windows as can be seen in this repo: https://github.com/c-smile/quickjspp (Edit to update to latest repo)
