“More efficient” is relative. While tauri and dioxus can lower the install size, they’re not going to be meaningfully more efficient than electron for memory usage or speed since Chrome probably does better than the other frameworks, and consistently across OSes which dioxus and tauri struggle with since they are dependent on the host OS’s web implementation. Slint is interesting here but then it’s more rust and less web coding.

Oh, "more efficient" here isn't a refence to Tauri. It's a reference to the parent comment's mention of "(AppKit, win32, GTK, Qt, etc)".

I work on a framework (Dioxus Native) which I think sits at an interesting intersection of "rust" and "web": it renders using HTML/CSS (custom implementation, not using a webview) but it uses Rust scripting instead of JavaScript.
