Ask HN: How would you create a better Electron alternative?

2 points by AlikhanPeleg ↗ HN
Everytime an Electron-based application is discussed here the same criticism comes up:

- High RAM usage

- Lower performance than native applications

...

My question is, can anybody come up with a idea for a better alternative? Ideally it would be able to:

- Work with JavaScript

- Layout the UI using HTML / CSS

- High performance / lower RAM usage

I know that some people at Mozilla had started an electron like platform using Moz own html/css/js engines. No idea where it is at right now.

But yeah it would be great to have a platform like electron but with greater optimization. Non the less electron is still great, it simply can become better.
