Yes, I don't disagree that user-mode OOM-killers are helpful, or that the system can still hang without swap. I'm just saying turning on swap, or increasing the swap capacity does not fix the problem, and it usually makes it worse

Not a long time. With swap enabled, when a process consumes too much memory your system goes from perfect performance to cursor lagging to everything is frozen and you can't even switch to a TTY within 5-10 seconds. Without swap, the s

Swap usually makes it worse, without swap there is some chance that the Linux OOM killer does something useful and saves the system. With swap, it becomes a frozen system that never manages to kill anything due to all the swapping. You can

Yes, you can't treeshake Javascript. You can treeshake a subset of Javascript. If you are limiting tooling to subsets, you can also compile subsets of Python or Javascript to machine code.
