## How It Works

### Tauri

Laplace IDE is powered by **Tauri**, a cutting-edge toolkit for building native desktop applications with web technologies. Tauri ensures a lightweight, fast, and secure experience.

### Technologies Used
- **TypeScript (TS)**: For clean and scalable frontend code.
- **Rust**: For high-performance, safe, and memory-efficient backend operations.
- **React**: A dynamic library for crafting responsive user interfaces.

### Why Rust?
Rust was chosen for its:
- **Memory Safety**: Avoid common programming errors.
- **Performance**: Compile directly to machine code for optimal efficiency.
- **Concurrency**: Manage complex concurrent tasks with ease.
