I have high hopes webassembly will allows us to move away from javascript while keeping the cross platform bit. Not convinced it will address the complaints about electron which I understand rather come from the use of chrome/html/css in term of resources.

I agree that webassembly could make the situation much better.
Some of the appeal of electron is code-reuse and being able to use something other than javascript will make it easier to share code with native software rather than web pages. That would be a huge benefit in my eyes.
