Discord is rebuilding its apps from scratch in Rust!
Discord CTO Stanislav Vishnevskiy confirmed they are ditching Electron and React Native. The new client is fully written in Rust and uses GPUI for rendering.
Early preview show massive performance gains:
- RAM usage dropped to ~290 MB (down from ~2 GB)
- Single, lightweight process instead of endless Chromium helpers
