Regarding point #4, I think the clear winner is Tauri. I'll clarify --

While writing in Node is great if you don't know Rust, your users are being shipped an entire Node runtime, which has size, memory, and security issues. So in this case Electron has a "better" DX completely at the cost of the user.

Tauri has JS/TS APIs, but if you need to do extensive backend work then it requires some learning at the benefit of your users. After learning Rust myself, I'd say it's the benefit of the developers too, but that's just my opinion. :)

Please keep in mind that this project just reached _beta_. We are working to implement valuable feedback from the community, so please don't expect things like the landing page to be as polished as an 8 year old project.

Shout out to all of the hardworking people behind Tauri. ♥

For Windows it will actually install Webview2 if it's not there already so it's not running on deprecated IE.

The paradigm of Tauri is to pick the "best tool for the job". Bring your own frontend tech (JS, TS, RustWasm, etc).

Deno is on our roadmap, but the focus right now is performance, flushing out features, and performing a security audit. As was also said, Rust is used to bundle your app.
