Fascinated as I am by an up-and-coming Electron rival, I set out to prove (mostly to myself) how easy (or challenging!) it would be to try the 7 tasks brought to my attention in the recent post here:<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24958725" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24958725</a><p>The scripting language (TIScript) is very similar to JavaScript. My opinion is more-or-less the same as this commment's here:<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23509653" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23509653</a><p><i>"the different script language may be annoying the first day but you'll get used to it"</i><p>A version using actual JavaScript is in development, and I actually tried doing the 7GUIs tasks with it here:<p><a href="https://github.com/GirkovArpa/sciter-js-7guis" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/GirkovArpa/sciter-js-7guis</a><p>But I hit some roadblocks based on not-yet-implemented JavaScript features. It looks promising but it's not quite there yet.<p>TIScript was probably better than JavaScript all-around back before ES6; I believe its syntax of $(selector) is copied from jQuery. It has some neat syntax not yet implemented in JavaScript though, like:<p>element.style.set { "background-color": "red" }<p>And JSX:<p>element.$append(<button>Click!</button>)<p>There's a ton of other stuff I haven't yet explored. I know Sciter gets posted a lot here but I think it does truly deserve more recognition.
