> What's the point of mentioning Rust when the heavylifting is done by the system's webview widget, and applications are written in HTML/CSS/JS, just as in Electron? You're assuming the 'heavylifting' part of the application is in the UI itself. Imagine some data processing app where the heavylifting part would benefit from a backend running in Rust. Say, an image enhancer of some kind. > Without this requirement, it was also trivial before Electron showed up to write a small native wrapper application around the system-provided webview widget. Electron also made the packaging of such an app dramatically easier when building on macos/linux/windows.
