Ok people, I want to make a #gui #desktop application. It's a somewhat simple lan messenger app, something like the famous "lan messenger", but updated.
I've never created native gui applications, so I want you to tell me based on your real experience that what tools I should use.

My requirements:
1. It should be cheap to create and maintain (not too much complexity, or time consuming gymnastics and the platform and tools must be stable and not need constant babysitting)
2. It should have acceptable performance
3. It must take small Ram,cpu resources. As far as it's not annoying and hogging resources it will be ok (~300mb of ram is my max acceptable ram usage for this application)

My skills:
1. #JS / #TS
2. #Python
3. #Clojure
4. #C (not too good with it)
5. #Rust

My main issue with C and even more, rust, is the complexity and effort curve that they introduce.
I personally dislike python but if it has good native gui support I will use it.
I have most bias towards Clojure for this. it seems like a middle.
