Planning to switch to Rust for desktop development
TL:DR :- How good is Tauri?
Greetings. Java swing developer with more than 3 years of experience. I've made plenty of desktop apps (hobby) including my own visual programming language tool, however I'm planning to switch to Rust + Tauri ( no experience in rust btw)
My main issues with java are :
- Swing is nice to use, but isn't feature rich
- Trouble making .exe files for java (Yes I know it's cross platform IF they have the JRE)
- Almost no community support for java swing
- No new updates for java swing
- Looking for something better than maven for managing my dependencies.
I did some research and found out that Rust has an amazing community, gets updated, has cargo.
Now my main question is :
-How good is Tauri?
- Is it battle tested? (Asking because it's relatively new)
- How good is it compared to other big boys like electron, WPF?
- how is the development experience in Tauri
PS : I tried electron and WPF and didn't like either
