To be fair, small fast messenger 2020 is "better" (aka more features / millisecond of cold start) than small fast messenger 2016. The cycle doesn't always go up

To be fair, small fast messenger 2020 is "better" (aka more features / millisecond of cold start) than small fast messenger 2016. The cycle doesn't always go up monotonically, even if developers pretend it does. But it is possible to go "full-circle" through the loop and wind up in a better place than you started, and it's even possible for each stage of the loop to be truly justified given product needs.

- ferzul 7y agoindeed, it could be rational business needs. at a time when it's more expensive to hire devs, maybe it looks better to have a single codebase. at a time when performance is more valued, maybe it's better to rewrite in native.
