Performant GUI Applications

I am going crazy with all the electron-based applications that use several gigabytes of memory without doing anything. What are good options and frameworks for making applications that are performant and low on memory usage? C and Gtk? C++ and Qt? I want to make something like Google Maps, but with decent performance.

Take a look at wxWidgets if you haven't already.
