Rust has no GC, .NET has a GC. Rust will be delivered with no runtime (minimal deployed size), Blazor will need the entire mono runtime and BCL.

Also, even when WebAssembly gets proper threading, .NET/Mono still uses a "suspend the world" GC mode which will still halt your execution. Nobody is poo-poo'ing anything. It is what it is. .NET just isn't likely to

WebAssembly (currently) doesn't have direct access to DOM, so it has to use JS, hence the GC. Here is some of the JS for Blazor: https://github.com/aspnet/Blazor/tree/master/src/Microsoft.A...

Your OS is multithreaded, JavaScript isn't. Scrolling in your browser is bad enough when JS/dom has to many allocations.

Having two garbage-collected languages in the browser likely won't work out well.

I agree. WebForms/UpdatePanel was a half-baked solution to pick-up and drop-in .NET developers from WinForms to the web, while Blazor seems to do the same thing for server-side and client-side developers.

What about tree-shaking/bundling/splitting? I don't see that happening, which means that you have to literally download the dlls needed to render every single page/component.

Blazor, to me, feels like WebForms/UpdatePanel. WebForms/UpdatePanel was a half-baked solution to pick-up and drop-in .NET developers from WinForms to the web, while Blazor seems to do the same thing for server-side and client-sid

I think he means "native", as in native to the host (regardless if it's virtualized or not).

Yup, and you don't even need to touch C++ these days. All C# and QML! https://github.com/qmlnet/qmlnet (I'm the author)

Why not Qt?

His point still stands. You can find other platforms we're updating is a lot easier. That is the issue.

I built a C-layer myself for use with C#. https://github.com/qmlnet/qmlnet It worked out nicely.

I agree. GitHub = social, more ideal for open source projects. GitLab = internal single solution for dev shops.

But it's your compiler, that does exactly what you want. ;)

But it doesn't break down and require constant maintenance as the parts it uses become obsolete and need constant updating. I'm just trying to get from A to B, not fly to Mars.

People are focusing too much on the "performance" aspect of the article. The "Programming is the same mess" section is what really resonates with me, specifically this: > And dependencies? People easily add overengine

I did. IMO, Hugo is the closest of any static gen to hitting the sweet spot of simplicity and feature set. However, there were some features that I simply could not add to it. Features that if I didn't have the tooling bogging me down,

See my top-level comment. I've had bad experiences with it. It is a bohemeth, especially considering we are just -ish turning markdown into html. There is way too much ceremony.

I tried using Gatsby for a project of mine. The moment I tried to do any thing not supported OOTB, it seemed I was fighting the tooling (and webpack) at every corner. It was incredibly difficult just to get a simple tree navigation. One th

I'm not buying the "too cumbersome to use SQLite" argument. This still seems like a large unnecessary abtraction.

It isn't really containerized, the same way Wine on Linux isn't. There is no isolation.

The snippet of code copied from a blog into production software was only a small detail. You obviously missed the entire point of the article.
