gollark: There's a difference between "maybe is a bit slower and uses slightly more memory than a, say, Rust program" and "EATS GIGABYTES OF MEMORY FOR EACH APPLICATION".

gollark: No, I don't think Electron is very good...

gollark: RUST!

gollark: It's got no IO, no type system, makes basically all programs convoluted and complex, and is hard to write.

gollark: Untyped LC is just bad anyway. People don't care about speed much in their decision to ignore it.
