If we let some people have their way, we'll have an Electron app for each widget on your screen.

- na85 5y agoI'm not sure even 18 exabytes would be enough memory for that.
- whatshisface 5y agoI'm tired of people complaining about this. If you don't see the need to process-isolate each DOM element, you don't understand frontend. What if a <div> crashes, or stalls? It used to be that when one DOM element's event listeners failed the whole application would fail. Now we simply restart the process and repaint the screen. The messaging and coordination is a nightmare but the reliability and scalability is worth it. With modern support for post-async language constructs it does not even increase development time by more than a large constant factor.
