<p>I've learned about several frameworks that are system language + web frontend. The general approach is, ship a small binary compiled for the specific platform, and use the platform's native browser (and whatever html frontend tech you like) for frontend. The whole binary can be 1mb or less.<p>There's a couple of Rust libraries like this; right now I'm building an app in Tauri+Svelte.<p>It looks like Wails might be a similar framework in Golang.</p>

<p>> Do they just get paid out with restrictive NDAs?<p>Yes, that's a very common part of an exit package for executives. Speaking from some first- and second-hand experience, you can get paid a hefty sum (6-12mo of salary worth of cash) for signing an agreement that has some amount of limits on what you can say, to whom.<p>There's also some kind of what I think of as a LinkedIn effect - there's a disincentive to talk trash about any organization publicly, since that's now attached to your name and might make future employers/organizations leery of hiring someone who might air their dirty laundry.</p>

<p>I'd love to hear how Github is doing ACL here. We came up with a pretty neat solution on my team, which we have not yet open-sourced, for JS. But it was a lot of first-principles design work; there don't seem to be any good examples.<p>This was pretty much all the documentation we had, and it's more a design analysis of edge-vs-node authorization: <a href="https://medium.com/apollo-stack/auth-in-graphql-part-2-c6441bcc4302#.he0radbju" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/apollo-stack/auth-in-graphql-part-2-c6441...</a><p>Edit: Our eventual solution looked a lot like<p><pre><code>    class SomeTypeOfResolver {

      someProperty;

      @allowIfAll(rule4, rule5)
