@quad @Pasty I don't mind electron, but an OS built on Node? No thanks. Please no. Stop.

@lyrenhex @Pasty Electron is nice for small projects that just need to work fast and you use once in a while. Then the inefficient use of resources doesn't matter as much.

I'm overly annoyed at things that intend to be open all the time using it though. Like Slack and Discord

@Pasty @lyrenhex It's fine if that niche application I only need to use once or twice a week consumes 4x the ram it should need to. There's not enough demand to put effort into optimizing it and making it just work matters more.

But the top chat apps that want to stay running 24/7 really shouldn't drain half a gig of my ram, or even more when they leak or if you're in lots of channels

@quad @Pasty can agree with that, particularly as discord is marketed to gamers, who really don't need an app eating their system resources.
