It's only a limitation if your app is currently written in Javascript, which seems like a silly assumption. If your app is currently written in Rust, Electron has the equally big downside of "you have to rewrite your app's backend in Javascript"

My impression is that Electron can wrap whatever backend you want to use. Is that not the case?

I've embedded a rust logic core into electron, so yes, anything that can expose a C API can be loaded into electron.

That said, after playing around with Tauri a bit I have to say it makes it magnitudes easier to embed rust. So if your target is rust, it's a much nicer option.

Tauri supports all languages, as long as they're Rust.

You could spawn any local server from Node and talk to it from the web side.
