>>I get it as well that you may not need to build or run local apps and that's perfectly acceptable! Some even try to challenge the fact that there may be applications that need to run locally.

>>In view of the absence of interest for this brilliant stuff - I can accept that as well, the market is more than narrow to-day for such stuff - the thread is of course closed! We'll need to move all our full code base - both UI and data engineering - to python at some stage.

>As a sidenote, I have looked into sciter in the past to use from Go (Golang). I think Go is a good selection for the future. I have been working with C# but Go is much better IMHO - doesn't have something like VS but many others exits like electron, Qt ... for the desktop. For the web, it has fabulous support and templating and also many frameworks, and it is fast. If you aren't already into Python, I recommend checking out Go (much faster, compiles to native code on multiple platforms).

Cetin, I was not family with GoLang, can you give some examples of "stuff" you find Go helpful with? It is suited well for Desktop and also Web?
