About point i, using different languages than native is really weird and in the age of green computing really not efficient at all.
UIs based on JavaScript, Python or even Java are heavier and less efficient than what a platform can do with native compiled code.
There are now also loads of possibilities to build native code, squeezing the best performance, especially for critical systems.
I still don't understand why there's now a hype in using JavaScript or Python in microcontrollers as well
- saagarjha 7y agoNot every system is critical, and not every application needs native compiled code.
- pjc50 7y agoSpeed of development currently trumps everything else. Developers are expensive, electricity is cheap, and software changes at a high rate. If we could reduce the "churn" perhaps people could transition to optimised versions, but optimisation makes rapid change harder.
- mister_hn 7y agoas PoC sure, but as productive system, I would always rely on the best performance out there
