> JavaScript engines, to use but one example, are consistently getting faster. When was the last time you where really impressed with https://arewefastyet.com/ https://arewefastyet.com/ ? Recent improvements are looking more like stragglers catching up with the state of the art than like the state of the art improving much. This is a very good thing, but it is not consistently getting faster. More like "getting more consistently fast". Good, but not the same. Actually it seems to be the exact same pattern of approaching a wall as we see (and lament) with desktop CPUs.
