    You are shitting on Electron but put Godot next to actual gui frameworks. Bundling an entire game engine is not much better then bundling a browser engine imo

      I’m not a developer lol so sorry if it’s too absurd a leap but that entire game engine consumes maybe 100-200MB of ram and 30MB of storage overhead compared to the multiple gigabytes of nwjs/electron/etc. Yes it’s absurd and inefficient but that’s the point of a meme. Even shipping an entire game engine is less ridiculous.

      1. godot is a pretty small game engine, so bundling it wouldn’t be that bad (it’s smaller than chromium); but
      2. godot kinda sucks as a UI framework
