It isn't just Electron, Node is also plagued by its own low barrier to entry.

One of my former employers had the great idea of hiring hundreds of "senior" JS devs and redoing the entire frontend of the website. When it launched to production the whole system scaled at approximately 1 enterprise-grade server to 1 concurrent user.

While I applaud your efforts to teach people how to write code faster, the majority of JS devs I have found just want to hit feature-complete and go home.

IMO, it’s not just JS devs. Most of the backend PHP devs I work with are similar.

And when nearly every Stack Overflow post asking about performance implications is answered with a litany of “YAGNI” and “premature optimization”, its not hard to see why.

The current comp sci culture seems to discourage this in all but the lower level languages like C.
