Alternative to Electron – Why teams move from
Electron to Slint.
Advantages of Slint over Electron
Native
Access full operating-system APIs, use every CPU and GPU core, and connect to any peripheral. Slint compiles your UI to machine code instead of shipping a browser engine.
Lightweight
A runtime under 300 KiB of RAM with a lazy property system, so the app starts fast and leaves CPU and memory for the user.

Secure by design
A full browser engine widens the attack surface to web exploits like script injection. Slint has no web engine, and its runtime is written in memory-safe Rust.
Keep JavaScript if you like
The Node.js API lets you keep business logic in JavaScript or TypeScript, or move it to Rust, C++ or Python.
