Excuse my ignorance, but is this written in a .net language that transpiles to js runtime or this written in HTML/CSS/js that transpiles to .net runtime? I'm probably missing what is electron.net and similar platforms.

This is a html desktop app framework built on chromium/Cef. The front end (rendering process) is in HTML/CSS/js. The "backend" if you may, or the "browser" is in .NET C#.

You still need both pair of HTML/CSS/js and C# to develop an app.

However, you can use any frontend Javascript frameworks like Angular, React that may require transpiling.
