Hi, thanks for your work, Tauri looks nice and it's good to have some competition for Electron.

My comment was quite "blue-sky", I'm not necessarily suggesting any of it for Tauri, but I think it's a useful thought experiment. If we weren't trying to be compatible with web tech (because I don't think we necessarily need to be), what would we change?

For example I think we'd probably not use JavaScript. JavaScript has improved a lot in the last 10 years, but it still has a lot of warts that are there explicitly for backwards compatibility with the web. If we're not trying to build for the web then we have so much more we can do.

While I think in Tauri pushing developers to put heavy lifting in Rust makes a lot of sense, similar to scripting a game engine we typically want to do this sort of thing as little as possible.
