.net
.net cli apps are cross platform and can be portable :p
Gui in .net isnt fully cross platform ( maui is everything except linux ) but frameworks like avalonia ( .net ) and imgui fix all that :')
Winforms of all things haha. Eeuw xD
But thats flipping awesome and i love it!
I know xamarin was wpf being cross platform with mono, but thats a dead horse thanks to microsoft haha
@DacoTaco Yes, it’s Microsoft decided to kill classic win32 widgets and any XAML support in Mono, forcing new WinRT platform and not providing any GUI support in netcore. It’s sad that nobody made some crossplatform WPF implementation for modern dotnet, Maui is not incompatible with existing source code, IIRC
Avalon is actually xaml and cross platform.
Personally id rather have a razor format of gui code, but xaml is a good second. Its basically what maui was suppose to be

>That’s basically Avalonia UI.
no, avalonia cannot help you run existing applications. Also. Avalonia is a crap, taking minutes to parse xml crap on poor hardware
Yes, there are many implementaion of WPF-like UI, but no implementation of existing Windows UI.
mono’s winforms allows you run existing winforms apps without single line change or even without recompiling (just replace related System.Windows.* assembies)
Thanks for reminding me why Maui doesn’t support Linux. I saw Maui mentioned in an earlier comment and was baffled why KDE would make something not working that doesn’t work in Linux.
It’s because Microsoft stole the Maui name from KDE:

@DacoTaco @MoogleMaestro there is a port of mono winforms implementation to modern dotnet and it’s really works:

I believe Uno Platform is similar, but less of a WPF variant, and closer to Xamarin or MAUI in the style of Xaml that they use.
