You are working on one of these electron-style apps, right?

  (Shrug) RAM is there to be used. I don't think we need to get into my optimization street cred, but suffice it to say I've never used Electron and couldn't really tell you exactly what it is.

    Resources aren't infinite. It's arrogant and wasteful to be lazy and resource greedy. Electron is an embedded web-browser meets cross-platform application platform.. it's bloated, slow and awful... it makes Java look snappy, lightweight and brilliant.

    I don't get it. You're using more RAM for literally no benefit. The end result is exactly the same. There isn't even a productivity benefit in the vast majority of cases because a huge chunk of software is packaged by the OS to use shared libraries by default.

      Avoiding DLL hell is certainly a benefit. It seems likely that few participants in this thread besides myself have ever actually had to support end users.
