You were wise. That's the biggest issue plaguing the project right now.

Tauri is written in 100% native Rust, so you write Rust for the entire application backend. It's like a framework. You write eventing and handlers and whatever other logic you want in Rust and cross-talk to your JavaScript/TypeScript frontend.
It feels great working in Rust, but the webviews kill it. They're inferior browsers and super unlike one another.
If Tauri swapped OS webviews for Chromium, they'd have a proper Electron competitor on their hands.
Sounds easier/more reasonable the other way around. Aren't there already specific libs / bridges for Rust / Electron / Node for performance heavy computations ?
