Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns (www.windowslatest.com)

Electron apps are ruining the Windows 11 experience, and even the JavaScript creator has warned against ‘rushed web UX over native,’ but it doesn’t look like that will change Microsoft’s plans. In a post on X and other places, Microsoft reaffirmed its commitment to AI in Windows 11 and encouraged Electron developers to consider using AI in their apps.

Of course MS would want people to develop Electron apps given they're trying to move Windows to the cloud anyways.

If we're going to slop it up with AI so hard you don't even look at the code can we at least use performant tools and start slopping Rust or something instead, dear god.

So no more UWP apps? Ok, I thought those were supposed to be the future but whatever...
