Is this a new trend? Why are everyone starting to do desktop runtime? For example, I recently saw Bun Electron, and then I saw this project.

I guess people are tired of each instance of an Electron-based app using 1GB+ of RAM.

I just tried `deno desktop helloworld.ts` and the result is 442 MB. So it's not any lighter than Electron (see my toplevel comment)

Then it probably was wishful thinking on my side...

Why are people parroting this meme?

For 8 years now, constantly updating to newest Electron, my Electron app has been using only about 150mb of RAM - (see Video Hub App)
