@Goutte erm, are you sure we're talking about the same app? Telegram Desktop is _not_ NodeJS-based, it is a Qt app written in C++. My previous reply has a link to its source code.
You are totally right ! It was Signal Desktop that had that many dependencies ; just checked my local clone. I had been compiling Telegram and Element at around the same time, and got mixed up.
Thankfully, you were here.
I'll edit my original post, and profusely apologize to the fedi for such a blunder.
