Curious as well. I’m planning to build a desktop app, haven’t use swift for a long time and I’m pretty new to rust. Tauri looks very promising. I really don’t like electron apps. They’re so slow to start even on lightning fast machines. Thanks for any insights!

After our Electron experience, I wish I had moved out of my comfort zone (JS) sooner. Electron just requires a lot of optimization and you have to be really tight with your imports to avoid loading things you don't immediately need.

The smaller bundle size with Tauri and blazing speed are well worth the effort.
