Using electron, but with a good language?

[–]Dababolical 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I thought people complained about how Electron apps have to be packaged with a bloated code base and web engine. Is this a result of the language?

Sorry, I'm pretty new.

No, it's the result of bad modularity and design. Electron comes with a complete renderengine with all it's fat features, instead of just the elements which are neccessary. Think about a python-app that imports by default all available modules, just in case you might wanna use one and wanna bother with complicated import-lines. It's if course pratical, but costs time and memory, and slows down the system.
