This is kind of amusing given that most new modern things in the hacker news ecosystem use either electron or some other variation of nodejs. Which is usually the exact opposite of 'performant'.
- sp0rk 8y agoYou're confusing performance with efficiency.
- dx034 8y agoMost Electron apps are not only not efficient but also not performant.
- willbw 8y agoExcept in development time and cost.
- AstralStorm 8y agoAnd the users care about this why? Delphi calls from 1998, it was even faster than Electron in development time and cost. Yet almost nobody uses it now. What killed it? Just one has economic bust and developer generation change perhaps? (And no, it was not networking, it had good capabilities the too. It wasn't web either.)
- Wiretrip 8y agoHa! I still use Delphi (amongst other things)! It's great for producing Native Windows apps and is extremely performant (and still works with Win 10). I stuck with Delphi 7 (and thus avoided all the subsequent politics).
- Wiretrip 8y agoAs a adjunct, apparently it is still really popular in Germany.
- brlewis 8y agoYou may be comparing to the C era. Compare nodejs to PHP/Python/Ruby and "2019 performance" makes sense.
