Hi John,

Thanks for the additional information.

I am quite aware of the way JS evolved into a largish server-side scripting solution.... And I dislike this as much as Thierry. However I admit it may well be here to stay, at least for quite a while. You are right: taking advantage of the whole stuff within Electron is an interesting alternative to the host of solutions we already have.

I must admit though that:
- the good old VFP9 applications I run have grown wildly with a lot of complex UI (especially in the field of D'nD) that are would be still be possibly better served by fully workstation-based programming frameworks à la MS or QT,
- I am looking for some sort of long-term stability that would not be C++ or java-based (do not start me on dotnet). I undertand that looking for stability on a scripting platform is somewhat against the nature of things though:)

As quite of a few here on the UT, I love python as much as I did VFP. As the current juncture, I reckon that the QT-based solutions provided by pyqt and, possibly, pyside are still my best bet since wx scripting solutions such as wxpython may never proposed the long-term decent environments I was expecting them to deliver. But these python+qt solutions incur some massive work for industrial deployment on more than one market platform...

There are times I fondly remember the time when deployment was simple stuff... Of course It can still be when you produce delphi or C++ monoliths. But well, that looks like old-timers stuff:)
