What difference does writing this library in rust make when the entire program is using electron?

This reminds me of how 1password justified electron "because rust" [0] and the comparison of the old software [1]

It means that I cannot use this on my old macbook air without it grinding to a halt.

Hi, I’m one of the engineers on Capture. One of the reasons we are not solely relying on Electron/NodeJS is to interact with native APIs not accessible to Electron/NodeJS. This allows us to have more control over the recordings and screenshots.
