It’s a bit absurd that a modern gaming machine running at 4,000x the speed of an apple 2, with a CPU that has 500,000x as many transistors (with a GPU that has 2,000,000x as many transistors) can maybe manage the same latency as an apple 2 in very carefully coded applications if we have a monitor with nearly 3x the refresh rate. So we wrote an electron app and it was remarkably painless.
Each has to hold a pointer (void *) with a series of reflection functions to do their bidding (and some primitive types it can share).

Electron is sort of like a web browser and a web server all in one convenient package. It configured well, and was dog-ass simple to get started.I've used NW.js for a couple of projects actually.

The CEF exists and is fundamentally the basis for Electron. It's pretty easy these days, and there are helpers to make it work for different browsers.A platform which runs JavaScript fast and has all the web APIs available is going to be quite heavy simply by nature of what it has to do and support. Any other language which uses synchronous I/O as a second class citizen (java, for example), would need to spawn a second thread, which most programmers forget.Objective-C actually takes the approach of using delegates and executing non-UI requests on a thread outside its UI draw to prevent this, but it also means you constantly have to remember which thread you're code may be executing on and is sort of cumbersome and a pain.Lack of type system means runtime memory and CPU overheadNot true, the language is not resource expensive, browser windows are, you're confusing javascript with a full browser, just using node and an objective-c "toll free bridge" doesn't have very much overhead at all.
Electron Forge is a complete tool for creating, publishing, and installing modern Electron applications. All of it ends up being event based (event loop)) programming which is where node shines.For OSX: There is no native go libraries, native java libraries, native rust libraries. I could not and asked what version of Atom he was using. How big is "too big"?100mb is 0.0001 the size of the average HD these days, and my experience with the likes of VSCode is that it uses dozens of MBytes of ram, not gigs, in an era where 16gb is average.And, as VSCode vs Sublime has shown, the performance problems aren't necessarily Electron's fault.I dunno man it kinda sounds like you're putting the cart before the horse here.
