What can I do with Seed?

Question

I found Seed , which is basically a JavaScript environment and is binding to GTK + programming. Are there any limitations compared to using, for example, C and C ++? Are there any serious performance issues?

Answer 1

There will be no “serious performance issues”, and overall you should not find it much slower than C or C ++ if you are writing good JS code.

Most of your overhead will be in the database / file system in a typical application. If you plan on doing complex calculations, you can see the difference.

In short: it depends on what you do with it, but overall I would not say that you will see serious performance problems. This worked well for me.

If you think this can be done in Python, JS will work fine.

Answer 2

Of course, this is potentially slower than writing to C or C ++. But it also depends on what you do with it. It really depends on how complex the logic is in the Javascript side of the application.

If you write a lot of custom widgets that are retrieved from Javascript, this will definitely be slower.
