In Electron you run a node 'server' and browser JS client (packaged up into one app). Tauri uses rust for the backend instead. So yes, in Electron 'the code is mostly JavaScript', but Tauri's offering 'let's do a piece of that in rust instead'. (And I suppose you could do the frontend in rust via wasm, but probably true of Electron too.) It's not just Tauri itself as a development tool that's written in rust.
