Having a shared electron runtime on each platform is an answer to some of its performance-related criticisms. Hopefully this is what Microsoft are going for with chromium and the github acquisition. There would still need to be compatible equivalents on Mac and Linux however, or it would render the endeavour pointless.

- jf- 8y agoGiven that electron is not chrome, no, not chrome. A specially made, backwards compatible chromium/node/whatever bundle, that developers can build against without fear of having their apps broken by future API changes.
- DonHopkins 8y agoYes, that's the only answer, and it's a good one! It will be great and benefit everyone if Microsoft can pull that off on all platforms.
