I doubt anyone will follow this.

1. Everyone else is building on Electron.

2. People still sleep on or dunk on Rust. There's a great deal of negativity here on HN for the language.

3. There's only so much Rust talent out there.

    I haven't seen any negativity only push back. Rust became too hyped. I don't think Rust has a visibility problem right now. Everyone who cares enough already knows about it.

    Also, it doesn't have to be rust, it could be C# or Zig or Lua or whatever

    Whilst rust is a big part of this it is not the core of their innovation. Pushing everything to the GPU is.

    Stating that everyone else is building on Electron belies your lack of exposure to any editors other than vscode \ atom spin offs.

    Realistically all the editors including those based on Electron could easily shift to leveraging the GPU more and that would be big leap forward for performance.
