Yeah, they're all Electron. Guess who eats the least memory?

Rewrite VSC in Rust, I can do the job if you hire me.

"lightweight"

electron was the right call for vs code and the wrong call for everyone who copied it. the difference is microsoft had a real reason, most apps just wanted a shortcut

honestly the right call, one codebase everywhere is how you move fast

but my ram seems unhappy :(

electron and light weight editor?

😁

The team forked atom lol

Tauri is better than electron

the editor is lightweight; Chromium is carrying the luggage

Can you rewite it in natives like winui 3 and Swift

electron lightweight? wtf?

A lightweight editor? So you choose electron? Are you serious? And actually VS Code is not lightweight at all!

That's because computers need electricity to run. 😂😂😂

*taps sign*

electron was a pretty smart bet. crazy how much of modern dev tooling grew out of that choice

lightweight and electron?
