alt Hacker NewsI also avoid installing Tauri apps too. Anything that loads Javascript that’s not my browser is a bad smell and potential resource hog IMO.

Would you say a desktop application using lua instead of javascript has less smell? What do you make of something like mpv, which supports both?
Tauri uses a system installed browser instead of shipping a separate separate copy with every application. That allows memory to actually be shared instead of duplicated when you have multiple apps using it, and it automatically gets security updates.
