Interesting. I'm not very familiar with Go. What is the equivalent for Tauri in Go's stdlib?

Would it make sense to continue using Go for the frontend and doing only the backend in Rust for your user case?

Go's stdlib has none of the things GP listed. No sqlite3, no ratatui, no cli (though there is `flag` if it's enough for you), and no tauri equivalent in its stdlib. Those would be go-sqlite3, bubbletea, cli or cobra, and wails.

Charitably, I think OP meant to say that in the rust project only four dependencies were added and that caused 400 transitive dependencies to be pulled. Adding the four Go equivalent will still result in 10x less packages being pulled.

It's a culture problem, Go authors prefer solutions that are self contained, rust authors embrace the culture that gave us left-pad.

But, at least in GP's case, it's not a stdlib problem. Not one solved by Go, anyway.

wails, there's wails3-alpha which some people said is even better than tauri

Thanks. Is wails a Go stdlib component, as GP implied or is it third party?

tauri isn't stdlib and neither is wails
