AI Summary
Discord is rewriting its entire client in Rust, eliminating Electron and React Native components while keeping native UI for mobile. The shift, announced by CTO Stanislav Vishnevskiy, aims to cut the PC client’s memory use from over 500 MB to about 290 MB and speed up boot times. The change follows similar performance upgrades made by Xbox, Epic and Steam earlier this year.
