DearPyGui
Dear PyGui: A fast and powerful Graphical User Interface Toolkit for Python with minimal dependencies
Project mention: Show HN: Scripton – Python IDE with Built-In Realtime Visualizations | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-02-18Looks beautiful so congratulation for the launch.
Not sure if today this is enough though without any kind of AI chat assistant. Trae [0] is based on VSCode and Jetbrains Fleet are good looking as well. Visualization is definitely a big plus but there is also alternative like using rerun [1] and dearpygui [2] or some VSCode plugins (Python Image Preview, AREPL for Python)- might be hard to compete with those free alternatives on a subscription model IMHO but good luck!

As a person who looks always at Java and C sharp with curiosity, I am a bit divided.
For me C#'s value is obvious in the frontend compared to Java (except for mobile, where Java can be used but Kotlin seems best).
But for the backend I always wonder if I should invest more on C# or Java as I go.
Also, it worries me that Java is a memory hog, which C# seems not to be. I like to have lean server-side software, to the point that my usual approach has been to use C++ paired with Capnproto, but if I had to go with something a bit more high-level for web work, I am not sure.
Currently I am investigating Clojure for non-critically-fast backend. It seems to be a lot of fun and since I am using https://fennel-lang.org/ (replacing part of my Lua code) and I expect https://jank-lang.org/ to become something at some point, maybe it is worth to stick to it?
How would someone that has more data than me compare Java vs C# in terms of performance as-in "what machine you need in the cloud" to do useful stuff, mainly for backend work, asynchronous, in terms of CPU and memory for both?

ultimatepp
U++ is a C++ cross-platform rapid application development framework focused on programmer's productivity. It includes a set of libraries (GUI, SQL, Network etc.), and integrated development environment (TheIDE).
It's sad that no one has commented about Ultimate++ ( https://www.ultimatepp.org ).
I believe it's the easiest way (at least for me) to quickly create GUI programs.
But of course, nothing beats Borland's interface from the DOS era.
