I think OP was implying that you could code in a non-lazy way while using electron. For example, a lazily coded app would use too many frameworks (e.g. jQuery + jQuery UI + angular 1, 3 http clients, 3 underscore forks) and bad coding practices (many memory leaks and unnecessary duplication, no optimization attempts, team never learned the language, shipping dev builds with extra debug tools to production). Maybe electron isn't as bad as the bad apples draw it down to be. Personally, I'm still interested in something like react native for desktop.

We're all waiting for that silver bullet
And also this (cross-plat React Native for Windows/iOS/Android): https://github.com/Microsoft/reactxp

Use JavaFX with JS running on the JVM?

Far smaller runtime, far better performance.

OP was not implying that (see the rest of their comment).
