WASM cannot touch the DOM so C or any other HLL (besides JS) in Electron is strictly limited to the backend. That's not useless but it's certainly a limitation.

WASM cannot touch the DOM so C or any other HLL (besides JS) in Electron is strictly limited to the backend. That's not useless but it's certainly a limitation. For the amount of energy one would have to expend to make an Electron app reasonably performant and less of a resource pig, you might as well just write a native app. After all isn't the whole point of Electron to get to MVP the quickest? Electron is a great prototyping tool, but it's a lousy delivery platform.
