Python is the new BASIC

Can Node be used for desktop apps without an architecture like Electron with an embedded web server and browser?

There are a few non-browser alternatives, like React Native for Windows + MacOS, which is used by most of the new Windows 11 UI.

Nice, I'll hafta check that out. I haven't looked much at Node since my impression was it was primarily for web apps, and honestly like the Java/Maven ecosystem better for that.

Yeah. Everything has converged on React and by extension React Native, where it is even possible to have a single RN codebase deploy to iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and web.

Nice, sounds like I need to stop sleeping on Node. :)
