"Electron is definitely worse than rust is good."

I would say, it depends very much on the developer. There are probably only a handful of people, who can write a fast GUI in C/++ that is also safe, plattform independent - and a joy to use.

(I am definitely not among them)

But there are a ton of devs, knowing how to accomplish it - with the webtoolkit.

In other words, I indeed would prefer a electron app, over some hacked together GUI in a "performant" language. Security, performance - and UX wise.

Thankfully there is no C++ on Electron.
