react-native-windows

React for desktop already exists, so yes, I guess it makes sense https://github.com/ptmt/react-native-macos https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows

Looks more like an alternative to React Native for Web[1] and React Native Windows[2]. [1] https://github.com/necolas/react-native-web [2] https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows

The commit in question, made on 16th July, uses the term "OfficeISS". I can find no mention of this online. Is this a straightforward code-name for their project to re-write their major apps in React, mentioned in the following tweet? https://twitter.com/TheLarkInn/status/1006746626617008128 I asked for clarification on how they were approaching macOS support in React Native, both: 1) in that Twitter thread (to no answer): https://twitter.com/LinguaBrowse/status/1006834843416657920 2) and in the subsequent Reddit discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/8qqhlz/office_... (to an answer ignoring the macOS part of my question). Microsoft are clearly going all-in on React Native: 1) TypeScript 3 has plenty of oddly React-specific features (e.g. defaultProps and PropTypes support): https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/typescript/2

@isakkeyten I would look at a 'crossing' between a functional programming language, and a multi-platform OS GUI toolkit. Because significant portion of your learning/cognitive effort you will be spending on understanding the UI paradigms offered by a given GUI toolkit. So take a look at the languages, in language bindings available for 1) Qt UI toolkit http://wiki.qt.io/Language_Bindings 2) at the languages, in the language bindings available for wxWidgets UI toolkit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_language_bindings_for_... 2) And same for FLTk http://www.fltk.org/wiki.php?LC+P139+TC+Q Perhaps, also, you can also investigate if you can use F# (equivalent somewhat to ocaml), to develop Windows Apps with https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows Same for Nim https://github.com/andreaferretti/react.nim (there is probably a

There has been active public development on ReactXP [1] for months now. It supposedly works with React-Native and React-Native-[Windows|macos]. Considering the amount of work being done in public on React-Native-Windows [2], it looks like this is turning into one of their (intended or not) version of cross-platform (using web technologies) dev stack.

People are trying https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows https://github.com/ptmt/react-native-macos https://github.com/status-im/react-native-desktop But without top-level standardisation effort it will not work.

Mobile has react-native. What about desktop? I see this: https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows for Windows. I wonder if something like that could be done for Qt?

I see a few attempts - https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows and http://reactdesktop.js.org/ The Windows one is from Microsoft, but is single platform. Nothing officially supported by react devs as far as I can tell.

It also irks me that that list was shared as an image. For me, it's just an inconvenience. For others, it's an accessibility problem, at least until OCR is 100% accurate.

Honestly that is like saying Windows Phone doesn't need the apps. React has a self sufficient cross platform eco system. I don't think people using primarily web frameworks even realize the implications of that yet. React works outside of the browser, and not just natively on mobile but literally everywhere. Imagine you use React as you always would to make a native command line application (https://github.com/Yomguithereal/react-blessed), but now you want to have a store or move things around, so you `npm install react-redux react-motion` and you just apply it (https://github.com/gaearon/react-blessed-hot-motion). Look at the code and try to picture the overhead if you had to do this in C++. Being able to transfer code and knowledge, and seeing new renderers pop up for the wildest platforms each day, as well as official renderers made by
