Besides all you said, Discord client is electron based bloated software. So it just seems a case when some engineers itching to write Rust and decided to make virtue out of it.
- Spivak 6y agoBut they’re specifically talking about a server component here. Using Electron on the client doesn’t magically make their need for a high performance backend disappear. They’re still having to make all those clients work and deliver voice chat to millions of simultaneous users.
