Muon – GPU based Electron on a diet ↦
Muon is a lightweight alternative to Electron written in Golang in about ~300 LoC, using Ultralight instead of Chromium. Ultralight is a cross-platform WebKit rewrite using the GPU to target embeded desktop applications that resulted in a fast, lightweight, and low-memory HTML UI solution that blends the power of Chromium with the small footprint of Native UI.
Between this, NodeGui, and Catalina’s support for React Native, Electron is getting squeezed on all sides.

Ultralight is not open source, so doubt it will compete much with electron
