No, it's not because of this mentality. Remember the timeless quote: "We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%." Using Electron and bloated frameworks that "abstract" things away is the biggest problem for most modern software, not the fact the developers aren't optimizing 10 cycles from the CPU away. It's a fundamental issue of how the software is made and not what the code is. If you need to run a whole web browser for your application, you already lost, there is no optimization that you can do there. I think the sibling comment here in this thread shows what some developers think. Electron is not reasonable. "Developers" using Electron should be punished by CBT and chinese torture. Okay maybe that's too much. But I suggest a new quote: "We should forget about Electron, say about 100% of the time: electron is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in rewriting everything in Rust."
