@noobsdotgg: Discord is rebuilding its app in Rust, and an early build is running on a fraction of the memory. Discord co-founder and CTO Stanislav Vishnevskiy confirmed Electron is going away on desktop, and React Native on mobile. Electron is what Discord runs on now. It’s basically a copy of the Chrome browser bundled into the app, which is why it can eat so much RAM. The new desktop app uses GPUI, a framework built by the team behind the Zed code editor. It draws the interface itself, with no browser underneath. Vishnevskiy shared a Task Manager screenshot of an early build using 290MB of RAM. On mobile, the app keeps its native look but shares code with desktop. There’s no release date, and it’s an early build, so the final number could change. Client mods that rely on Electron will likely break when it lands. Less RAM for Discord means more for your games. #discord #rust #pcgaming #pcsetup #gamingnews
