Yes (simple answer). but really, its less "hacks on hacks" and more "unneeded abstractions on unneeded abstractions". The inefficiency of modern web-stacks continues to absolutely astound me. When people tout the 'efficiency' of language A against the equivalent C as being "less than 2x"... jeez... that means you're throwing away double the power that you need to. That means you've got double the number of air-conditioners cooling your server-room. double the power bill, etc... </rant>
