Re:How VSCode made bracket pair colorization 10,000x faster by eikenberry on Thursday June 22, 2023 @12:30PM (#36434668)
Software developers are conditioned to accept horribly slow interactions with their software due to compilers. Most compiled languages have zero regard for developer time with the lengthy compile times. The break in context and flow from those constant delays and the horrible hacks in tooling around trying to deal with it are a constant irritant that has taken root and just accepted.

Now imagine that you are doing a development on embedded platform - To the compilation time you will add time to load the application and time to boot it up.
