Speed Is the Killer Feature

I’m pretty sure if you gave the devs creating slow ui on the web would create slow native apps too. I’ve created web apps that are on average faster than the desktop apps they replaced. I’m willing to bet nice simple fast programs are way cheaper to write.

Current situation is people creating abstraction at the wrong level and not understanding the performance cost of things like reflection and ORMs.

I mean, ideally there should be absolutely no bearing of usage of ORM on the snappiness of UIs. It should absolutely never block the Ui thread. At most it could add longer “in progress” screens or something, but that is a different topic (also, good ORMs when used correctly, that is the developer actually knows what he/she does and not only blindly copies code, than I doubt they would cause serious overhead. But I agree that non-correct usage can cause problems)

Yep. Hence my somewhat dismissive quip about "way too many young JS devs who know nothing else".

Kudos to you. We need more people like you.
