Well there's your problem. If my choice is to wrap my existing SPA in electron in one day vs a 6 month make-and-maintain-a-copy-in-another-language, then I think the choice is obvious.
Then you have a dozen languages to choose from? All of them are lovely except JavaScript? That sounds pretty biased. If I'm going to write a desktop application and take advice from strangers, I need to know that my advisor completely understands where I'm coming from and where I'm trying to go. I don't want to get burnt because a hater is trying to give me unthoughtful "literally anything but" bad personal vendetta advice thinly vailed with technical concern trolling.
Then I have to pick one of 12 languages? I don't need "well literally anything but", I need a well written set of tutorials and/or case study demonstrating that one option is superior to JS and is written to bring JS devs to an understanding of if the tool being presented is what they need to use or not.
