> No, I'm saying they need to move out of C/C++. But Electron has filled 99% of that, to be fair. Electron has filled 99% of all memory it comes in contact with, amirite? But seriously, qml and QtQuick are pretty good. PyGobject is also pretty good. And 50% of gnome shell is in javascript[1] using GJS[2], so I don't think it's stuck on C/C++ or the bindings are far from good. Do you have more specific gripes about them?
