   Yes, please do chime in -- for animation we're currently blocked on APIs that make sense, not implementation. If anyone has ideas about how animation should work, that thread is a great place to put them.

    I don't disagree; I was just clarifying on the parent's claim that Apple was benchmarking only against Python: > That's why Apple used a micro benchmark comparing a static, compiled language vs a dynamic, interpreted langu
