#3To be fair, it's not hard to outperform something written in Electron with native code with a factor of ten :) Anyway, this is really impressive, so good job!

#4I use vscode for doing devops-y things (Terraform, OpenTofu, JSON, python, yaml, txt, dockerfiles, etc.) and sometimes the way it bogs down my system drives me bananas. I'll punt to Sublime Text on occasion and use it for a few days, but then start running into papercuts in various places and have to go back to vscode. I so, so wish there was a better way to do this without fucking electron.

#5Is it open source? What programming language and what GUI toolkit does it use?
I really want GUI programs that don't lose a frame no matter what.

#6No offense, but who made this? How did the submitter find this? The Download page has a name but a Google search doesn’t return much.
Not that anyone would run a binary just like that, but I do find it interesting.

One of the benefits of Electron is being able to build the same app for multiple operating systems. When writing GUI app using native OS calls, how does one make sure the code is compatible with all three major operating systems?

Opening a 1GB JSON file and scrolling, editing, and keeping syntax highlighting correct is something that even native text editors struggle with.
