Ahhh get over it.
Electron is awesome. It lets me build powerful desktop apps in JavaScript. Nothing else lets me do that so well as electron.
And let me say something to you if you're concerned about its memory usage:
Don't use it. No one is forcing you.
If you don't use it then you won't need to whine about it.
- stephenr 9y agoDid you read the article? The author addresses this exact argument (being able to reuse web dev skills on a desktop app): > Okay, sure having a plumber cut out a square wheel from a plank is also a lot easier to do than having a woodworker carve a perfectly round wooden wheel, but it is gonna be one hell of a bumpy ride, and square wheels are actually fine, right?
- bfrydl 9y agoI suppose that might loosely qualify as “addressing” the argument. It's really just a joke though, isn't it? Enabling rapid cross-platform application development with web skillsets is not really in any way similar to using square wheels.
- abiox 9y agoi don't think it does. as the gp said, nobody is forcing you to use something with square wheels. the problem isn't electron, or electron developers. it's much larger than that.
- gungoman 9y agoIf you need Javascript to build powerful desktop apps and you can't do it as well in another language maybe you should leave programming to those who can do it.
