bartek teased quickjs backend in the discord too 👀

I’ve never personally wanted it but I think the main use case would be if you also have a web version of your app so it already has to be optimized for all browsers. But I’m glad Deno ships with CEF out of the box bc it works best for like 80 to 90% of use cases.

You already do that if you maintain a web version of your app. There are very few cases where cef makes sense. WebKitGTK is one of them, it's the worst. For example WebRTC stuff doesn't work properly at all.

yeah that's why it's great that deno desktop supports CEF out of the box, and for those who prefer native webview they can have it.

any update on the js runtime stuff? I think there's room in the market for something minimal

@kettmeir.dev ❗

There‘s an feature branch in beta status for Tauri that uses CEF - feat/cef

honestly tauri is pretty plug and play as well but it is nice to be able to only write javascript

go try it! docs.deno.com/runtime/desktop

a little funny they have mobile support planned and still launched the feature with the command `deno desktop`
