You can always write native extension in c++/rust/c.

so then why use electron as well if the majority of your code is going to be native anyway?

exactly.

the UI is the minority of the code. the main engine is gonna need to be implemented in some language which has strict guarantees about performance. also, not having a garbage collector that fires in a seemingly random way helps a lot too :)

It's probably a decent way to package your program. And you can use all the glammy JS you want.
