Rust is so confusing to a JS/TS person like me. Idk wtf I'm doing but I managed to figure out how to create a sidecar in Tauri so I can run embedded executables within my application...I figured out how to close my app!

I just wish the JS APIs were as capable as the Rust ones. I did the sidecar stuff in JS first and then was surprised when I couldn't use npm modules to find the PID of the running process and kill it, because those use Node APIs that aren't available in browser environments like Tauri's front-end.

An attempt to run a binary executable from a Tauri 2.0 desktop app, from @netopwibby.eth.

Tauri’s approach of bridging its Rust backend to a webview’s JavaScript runtime via IPC is looking super promising. Just need more time to achieve feature parity across their JavaScript and Rust APIs.
