I'll try.
At some point in the past, you predicted (possibly implicitly, given that we're dealing with "surprise") that JS wouldn't reach the performance it has today. But it evidently did. So you're not very good at predicting the development JavaScript's performance profile. Currently you believe it can't go much further. Hence, given the historical precedent that we have, it probably will.
There you go.
- epo 16y agoWhat makes you think he was talking about Javascript's performance?
- apl 16y agoContext? Besides, my argument doesn't really depend on whether you put "performance" or "popularity." Also, I was joking.
- allertonm 16y agoNicely done!
- chrisbroadfoot 16y agoLOL! You make a compelling argument. It would be nice if the v8/spidermonkey/etc teams gave some insight into what kind of optimisations they have made/are making.
