While this looks promising on paper for Python user , it will probably just die in the coming years due to a lack of vision and of community.

Electron is backed up by Github , we are talking about a billion dollar unicorn , and a lot of commits made are coming from outside github ( microsoft engineers for instance)

For this ? I doubt it would go beyond 1 year of surviving .

Also I've been using VS Code for years ,it's incredibly well optimized and doesn't have a problem in terms of memory or CPU .I personally found electron very reliable , it has surprised me on this point.

Ultimately this tech feels a lot like all the 'I hate javascript so here is my alternative' frameworks we had for the past year.
