Still need the entire browser DOM, APIs, layout, renderers, etc outside of JS.

another use case is getting standalone self-contained binaries which are easier to ship.
other projects like claude code use something like `bun build --compile`[^1] for that, which instead of producing a small native binary just bundle the JS runtime into the executable.

This is a really important question. If true, it could end a lot of Electron wastefulness.

Some of us don’t like Spotify, Slack, Discord, and a simple notes app taking 1-2GB of RAM each..
