You can even get Slack for Windows in 32-bit, although I suspect you'd hit the nasty 4gb limitation pretty quickly

I thought it was odd that a single application would even hit the limit. Then I realized Electron.

Some people might consider that a blessing in disguise with Slack.

I'm not sure what the behavior is, maybe best case Slack crashes and restarts itself. You could almost call that behavior a feature of 32bit Slack: "automatic garbage collection"

Garbage collection isn't strong enough: it doesn't collect the garbage generator which is Slack
