Electron blows my mind every time I open Activity Monitor. How on the Earth does Spotify manage to use 2GB RAM and 48 threads for a music player?!


Spotify is using the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) [1] which is similar to Electron in the sense that they are both based on Chromium but it's not quite the same thing.

Still rubbish, though.


it's the typical management that is computer illeterate and push useless tech to everyone..

the spotify devs are quite capable, look at this ImGui port of the Spotify client: https://twitter.com/rogueops/status/1243269640815509504
