Question about Electron restrictions

[belst]

microsoft/vscode#10121 this is the most upvoted issue on vscode at the moment and it seems to be blocked by a shortcoming of electron (multiple windows which share the same execution context, microsoft/vscode#10121 (comment))

I am asking if this would be a problem for xray aswell. Since I believe this is mostly a ui issue,
I do believe electron can make problems there.

I am also asking this now, so this feature can be considered early in development, so as to not make it harder to implement later.

Our goal is to make Electron as stateless as possible, and basically treat it like a display device. All of the logic will live in the central server. So the difference between something being displayed inside an existing window or in an entirely separate window should just be a matter of where we send the messages. Technically, it should be possible. It will just be a matter of presenting an ergonomic API. Thanks for bringing this up, and we'll keep it in mind as we evolve the architecture.
