I don&#x27;t use Electron and haven&#x27;t been following, but isn&#x27;t Electron a UI only framework?<p>What I mean is what is preventing you from writing a C&#x2F;C++ library, installing it down with your Electron UI and having the Electron App call out to the high performance .so?<p>PhoneGap gets a lot of hate because it&#x27;s _slow_ and single threaded in an environment that is starved for resources.  This can impact user experience even in _just_ a UI context.  On a desktop, a single core is many times faster and there are much greater resources so I don&#x27;t see it as having as large an impact on UI (if any at all noticeable user experience degredations).  This is of course provided Electron is (or can be) UI _only_.<p>Just curious :) since I have never really heard of Electron before this.
