tahnik389908yJavaFX? Useful especially if you've done some android development
Edit: Sorry I missed the lightweight part. -
@tahnik I've done stuff in it in the past, while trying to retrofit it to work with scala.
But yeah, I want as few dependencies as possible. My client isn't exactly tech savvy -
tahnik389908y@ElectricCoffee JavaFX doesn't have any dependencies tho, other than the JRE. I don't think you'll need any other libraries.
-
tahnik389908y@ElectricCoffee anything will have at least one dependencies if it's cross platform.
-
tahnik389908y@ElectricCoffee You can do native packaging with self contained JRE. In this way client won't need to install anything other than your app.

Even though it's JavaScript and NodeJS, just started with Electron and it's awesome!

viking817428yYou have Go. UI wise I don't know, but there seem to be a few good candidates after a Google search

r0bb4238yProcessing 3 is cool for quick prototyping.
It's Java so if you know Java you'll get the hang of it pretty quick.

QML (for Qt) is kinda easy to learn because it's like html+css in a way. But Qt itself is one confusing son of a bitch if you don't have any experience with C++.
I heard only good thing about JavaFX but haven't tried it myself, but as @tahnik said, you can always include the JRE with some sort of installer builder tools.

Do any of you know of a good lightweight cross platform GUI system that doesn't use C++, .NET or Node.js? I'm kinda tired of those three.
Bonus points if it's easy to learn.
Should be stand alone on the desktop.
