No one is claiming that the choice to use electron is without merit or that it is a mysterious choice. It's just heavily disappointing that we've gotten to the point where 300mb and 4 processes is acceptable for the cruft developed with it.
- lmm 7y agoWhy is that disappointing? Worrying about how much RAM your program is using feels similar to worrying about how much paper you're using to take notes - at best it's a distraction from what's actually important. If you want disappointing, how about the fact that we're still finding buffer overflow vulnerabilities? IMO we shouldn't even begin to talk about software performance while we have such difficulty getting software to behave correctly at all.
- castis 7y agoIf I wanted disappointing, I would accept that some people in this world will never see the big picture and are so out of touch that they try 1-upping others on a message board by throwing out buzz-words.
