Developer prefers Electron apps over Rust, citing rationalization

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The author expresses a preference for elegantly crafted Electron applications over Rust-based alternatives, arguing that both Electron and coding agents serve the purpose of societal rationalization. They question the necessity of complex C++ and Qt development when web technologies via Electron can yield cross-platform applications more efficiently. Furthermore, the author suggests that coding agents can automate development, producing functional applications in hours, and reflects that this drive for rationalization, while perceived as progress, may not actually be so.

    ALL of us would prefer carefully hand crafted, elegant electron apps over this vibe coded rustslop :/ Let's me remind you that coding agent and Electron framework exist for exact same reason: rationalization of society . Why built application in C++ and Qt that may broke on GNOME…
