Did anyone combine this with Blazor yet? That would make it possible to create the entire application, backend and frontend, in dotnet, running it as webassembly in the UI. No javascript needed, just c#/f# against the DOM.

Just knowing about Blazor from you. That should be interesting and doable.

Chromely is relatively new, so may be soon someone may show interest and combine with Blazor. I will also take a look.

Thanks for pointing that out.

For F#, you can also use F# to transpile f# to clean javascript (will use standard babel and has an awesome interop story with existing npm packages or js libraries), and use electron api as is

Related, the ionide extension of Visual Studio Code ( https://github.com/ionide/ionide-vscode-fsharp ) is implemented with fable, and used to generate extension of vscode (electron/js based). works really well and power the F# language support of Visual Studio Code
