It's happening. Cursor 3 moved to rust. A lot of people are using Zed (rust) instead of vscode.

  It won't be "happening" until Slack, Teams, and Discord leave Electron behind. They are the apps that need to be open 24/7.

    Teams works similarly in browser tab and "natively". Slack was similar if I remember correctly.

      I only ever use Discord in a browser window.

      You should check the memory use of that browser tab. You’re not saving much either way running in a browser or in Electron, which is effectively a browser.

    It's not entirely clear what the connection is. We're not doing Electron because some popular software also using it. We're doing Electron because the ability to create truly cross-platform interfaces with the web stack is more important to us than 300 MB of user memory.

      > web stack is more important to us than 300 MB of user memory. May I never have to use or work on your project's software.

  Are you sure about Cursor? I haven't seen anything about that, I think it's still based on VSCode/electron.
  • brikym 6mo ago
    No. I saw they rebuilt it with some rust involved. It's no longer a vscode fork.

  "cursor 3" is just a landing page. The editor is still the old vscode fork...
