Not sure who's still using electron...Rust + Tauri is pretty much standard these days.

I wish I could agree but Tauri performance is insanely bad on Linux.

I think it'll be fixed soon but it drives me nuts.

Flutter is under appreciated for desktop.

Dioxus has many renderers and also cross-platform.

Blitz itself is a great experiment in debloating.

How's that different? You are still shipping a web browser and rendering through the inefficiency of the DOM event/rendering model. Sure it helps that the business logic is written in a native language, but modern, JIT-ed JS isn't a sloth either, and I don't think that's what people have gripes with and what causes abnormally large runtimes.

there's a lot of difference, please just look it up in any AI. Essentially, you do not ship a browser in Tauri.
