" summary

Electron combines Node.js, Chromium (content + V8) and C++ native modules so an app that wraps a website can still be native-fast. Example fixes: moving text handling into a native text buffer (like Atom/VS Code) and using sqlite full‑text queries in a hidden renderer drops search times from seconds to instant. V8 compiles big RegExp workloads (10,000‑line test) down to machine code far faster than webworkers. Built demos: a Monaco editor packaged in minutes and a compiled callcore native module that yields snappy video calls.
