Thank you for the link, the whole thread was very informative, for the various ideas being weighed and some kind of consensus forming as to the proposed solution. It got a bit daunting to see in more detail the potential complexity of the problem. Someone noted in the comments here, that there have been countless attempts at solving this "shared runtime for cross-platform apps" idea, apparently with a still unsatisfactory history. Reading through the thread does give me hope, since the discussion is on-going after 2+ years, which means people are interested in an efficient solution. Seeing the HN crowd go at this Electron topic again and again, always with a kind of emotional "turbulence", implies that this is a worthy problem to solve. I like that one of the recent suggestions is to "split the Electron", to accommodate bindings with theoretically any language.
