The best way forward for Electron is probably to get a very thin, light core instead of the current Chromium-based one. Even on a good 16 gigs of ram and an i7

The best way forward for Electron is probably to get a very thin, light core instead of the current Chromium-based one. Even on a good 16 gigs of ram and an i7 you feel Electron-based applications' effect on a system. If you want a compromise between easy multiplatform desktop app development and not wasting resources, the ideal way there may be something like Microsoft's React-based desktop framework that they just released. (in my opinion at least)
