How did WebKit lose out to electron ?

5 pointsnoloblo3 comments

chrome and electron-based applications really heat the Mac, get the fan running all the time and bringing it to a halt.

Are there projects to build native cocoa apps on top of eth/btc much like aquamacs for emacs

Are there technical reasons why electron won over WebKit

Does VS Code heat your Mac?

It may be that most Electron-based apps are badly written, rather than that all Electron apps will do that to your machine.

Yes it does but the big culprits are slack chrome and ethereum

I suspect because node.js (something like which was needed) was already using V8 so you'd have to use the corresponding browser core engine.
