Will it have its lunch eaten by tools and techniques for lightweight web apps on Webkit/Quantum? Svelte made a headstart making 200k laggy Webkit devices snappy again while these guys will be selling proprietary licenses.
- csande17 7y agoFrameworks like Svelte focus on reducing the time spent running JavaScript. This project focuses on reducing the time spent on layout and rendering. Theoretically they'd complement each other, but in practice I imagine UIs for super-resource-constrained set-top boxes are already written in pretty efficient JavaScript.
- Manishearth 7y agoThese things are actually pretty related: JS isn't particularly slow as a language; it only gets slow on the web because every time JS code touches the DOM/CSS a part of layout and style needs to be recomputed.
