why should I upgrade my RAM can't people stop building electron apps instead

Quad @quad

@Pasty no node-os.com/

Damian Heaton @lyrenhex@niu.moe

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

Quad @quad

@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

@quad @lyrenhex @Pasty
Visual Studio Code consistently consumes ~38mb so it's perfectly possible to create lightweight Electron apps

Quad @quad

@pasqui023 @lyrenhex @Pasty Sure you're not just looking at the main process. This is what I get with zero files open

Okcheckedagain and it is around 300Mb

But then again I had +130 extensions installed,and sure is mote light than Eclipse for around the same funcionality

@pasqui023 @quad @Pasty Eclipse is a full IDE for Java though, VSCode is a *text editor*. A fancy one, true, but it still seems somewhat... Bloated.

@lyrenhex @quad @Pasty
A text editor that can fully replace Eclipse
From that point of view is light

Quad @quad

@pasqui023 @lyrenhex @Pasty
1. I doubt it actually fully replaces Eclipse. You've probably only enabled the extensions you need, not everything Eclipse does
2. Eclipse is also known for being just as bloated as most IDEs often are. Though that's generally due to them just cramming in way too many features and having giant codebases. Not because of their framework like Electron text editors
