The only electron app I've ever used that wasn't slow/terrible is VSCode which happens to be written in typescript by Microsoft and it still occasionally decides to use 100% of my macbook's CPU making it entirely unusable until I restart, so I'm not sure that's a very good argument.

Do you think that's actually thanks to TypeScript? From what I know, TypeScript doesn't have an inherent performance quality that makes it better than JavaScript.
No, typescript has no impact on runtime performance that I know of.
