Good points, but you're missing something: the web platform is incredibly and intrinsically complex, and any complete implementation is going to necessarily also be complex and consume a minimum amount of resources. I would need to see some empirical evidence that this minimum amount is low enough so as to not be noticeable on 10-year-old hardware.
That is - just because Electron will get faster with some optimization doesn't mean that it's possible to become enough faster while still completely implementing the various web specifications.
- klabb3 5y ago> the web platform is incredibly and intrinsically complex Absolutely true. I don't like that the web is so complex there are only a few competing implementations. Still, it's the best we got in terms of platform support. > doesn't mean that it's possible to become enough faster Unless you bloat your app with tons of frameworks, I don't think the issue is speed, but size, which is true for web in general. Almost all of that size can be deduplicated (and some big parts even discarded).
- throw10920 5y agoVery good point about the difference between speed and size wrt webtech applications in particular - I completely agree, I think that frameworks are the cause of power efficiency/performance issues, but that the platform isn't intrinsically slow.
