Rust has Tauri, Go has Wails, C++ has wxWebView and webview libraries. They link OS-provided modern browser engines into the compiled application, so the resource usage is modest compared to the popular Chromium + Node.js combo known as Electron.

I could not find a fulfilling discussion comparing these three. Rust vs C++ are usually measured for kernel, embedded, performance-critical tasks, and such. Go vs Rust are often measured for server-side efficiency.

How would you evaluate Rust, Go, and C++ for implementing the "business logic" of an application that's going to run on a user's Linux/macOS/Windows personal computer, when the GUI mechanics are offloaded to the web widget?

I'm halfway through my life, and I have been developing myself as a "Renaissance man" of digital age, like many of you.

I worked hard to get good at my main skills (writing code, running servers) as well as secondary skills (designing graphics, making animated films, producing music, simulating physics, processing signals, CAD, math, etc.) at varying levels.

It's obvious that my entire spectrum of artistry is going to be replaced by AI, sooner or later.

People in my situation, what are your plans?

Others, what are your advice to people in my situation?

I’ve been programming professionally for over a decade with both “business” and “hacker” languages.

Although I’m not unhappy with what I’ve been using, I have developed an interest in BASIC after I was introduced PureBasic and AppGameKit (DarkBASIC).

I’m wondering about your experiences and feelings about today’s BASIC languages.
