Every Windows 11 app should kill Electron, and Discord just showed why

Discord's new Rust client outperforms the current Electron-based client in loading speed and RAM usage, with the Rust client loading its friends list in under a second while the Electron client takes five seconds. The Rust client also uses significantly less RAM, at 290.2MB, compared to the Electron client's unknown RAM usage. Discord employees have confirmed that both clients were launched from a cold start and the results are consistent with their internal experience.
