Realistically, running apps inside of a language runtime (VM) is bad enough for an embedded device (the HP Dynamo-like gymnastics to speed up ART, notwithstanding)... and here we were wishing each app ran in its own guest OS?
- pjmlp 2y agoNot only does ART compile to native code, its performance is much better than V8, running the whole ChromeOS userspace, or the VM for Crostini.
- ignoramous 2y agoThat's exactly the point I was making, too.
