I would have loved to see the performance comparison between Rust and Golang for the desktop app. Historically, GC language based desktops (Java,C#,Electron) are laggy, less performant or consume a large amount of memory compared to the native versions (which were often non-GC languages like C/C++/Objective-C etc.). Pretty much the only reason people power through the native versions, even though they are a pain to code, is due to much snappier performance and smaller memory footprint. I would have guessed Rust would have fallen into the native category and it would have been an interesting comparison.
