Ok, I see what you're saying ,but from what I can see, if you were to scale a sciter app to the level of VSCode, it is not going to use any less resources.
Yes sciter is smaller for a simple calc app, but once you have multiple ui panes running in different threads, plus a backend server, it looks like it would scale it exactly the same resource usage as Electron.
Multiple UI panes and a backend server? You mean lke emacs?
It would would use less resources because it's a more optimized runtime. In fact, the more UI panels and other elements you have in the app, the more savings you'd be making proportionally. Even when faced with a concrete example of being wrong, you're still digging. 🤦

No, you just can't recognize when you're wrong and someone is kindly trying to meet you half way anyways.
The fact that you're faced with an example of a much more optimized runtime and still can't understand that you're wrong is frankly hilarious. Maybe once you get a bit of programming experience under your belt you'll be able to hold a meaningful discussion on the subject.
