Javascript in itself does not run anywhere. You always need an interpreter written in a different language (most of the time C++). So saying "Javascript is cross platform" is not really true. C++ is.
Electron is the worst development of the last few years. Why are people OK with a text editor that needs 2min to open a bigger file and 1GB RAM to do so (Atom, VSCode)? Or that a chat application needs another 1,5GB (Slack)? Everything feels slower than a few years back! You would expect that almost any application runs blazingly fast on modern hardware, but the trend to use a single threaded language in the times of multi core processors is just beyond me.
I haven't tried using javascript to work in any other platforms. But this is a great idea to run javascript in any platform. But thank you for thoughts.
