It's both. Go look at your memory usage per tab and it's not uncommon to see hundreds of megabytes for a simple static 2d UI. The way web renders is extremely inefficient then you couple that with a language that has no regards for how a computer actually works and you get to the sad state we're in today.
- _bxg1 7y ago> hundreds of megabytes for a simple static 2d UI Without a specific example that's hard to argue against, but I would wager it has more to do with images, unnecessarily complex DOM, and possibly just poor engineering, as opposed to JavaScript itself. > that has no regards for how a computer actually works You mean like Python? And Lisp? If you're taking issue with the very concept of high-level languages then state it as such, and good luck making a case for that.
