Isn't it glorious? I definitely share those concerns. But being able to package things in an independent way is incredibly useful. I hope we can get away from the reliance on incredibly disproportionately sized runtimes (such as Chromium) for making GUI apps in most cases. I think it trades too much of the user's resources for developer convenience. Unless you are trying to do audio/video conferencing in which case I guess I get it. I've found the work on the Scenic UI framework in Elixir quite cool (only depends on OpenGL + glfw on desktop, nanovg on RPi). I also had reason to build a simple bit with wxWidgets in Elixir through Erlang. Didn't love it. But that should be able to make reasonable-sized native but cross-platform UIs. Elixir and Erlang tend to package releases in a nice independent way. But what I need this for is because every library under the sun is available for Python. And sometimes you need to just get a small utility built and distributed.
