Every Windows 11 app should kill Electron, and Discord just showed why

Discord's new Rust-based client significantly outperforms its current Electron-based app, loading its friends list in about 5 seconds compared to the Electron version's much longer startup time, while using only 290.2MB of RAM with two accounts signed in. The demonstration, shared by Discord's co-founder, highlights the inefficiency of Electron apps and suggests that Windows 11 applications should move away from web-based frameworks toward native implementations like Rust for better performance and resource efficiency.
