On the other hand, it's pretty amazing that a ~2MB application can be downloaded over the network and executed to a state of responsiveness within 2 seconds. Some of us remember when the MS Word binary was roughly that size and took ~20-30 seconds to start up (with a splash screen, etc).
It's trivial to get a single static HTML hello world page with no assets to load in 100ms.
- marssaxman 12y agoI'd really rather not be downloading 2MB applications from random internet sites, like, ever. I've started browsing with noscript turned on by default, and despite what everyone says about how useless the modern web is without it, things are pretty great - everything loads instantly and the stuff that doesn't load generally isn't much I care about.
