wondering aloud... perhaps we need something like WASM, but for HTML... in other words, a way for a server to ship pre-compiled DOM (not an html string) directly to the layout engine, bypassing the HTML parser -- same way WASM bypasses the JS parser with pre-compiled byte code.

Shrugs. Not disputing download delays of course. But I feel like it's pretty established knowledge that JS parse times have long been a bottleneck sought after to reduce, and it definitely was one of WASM's (at least initial) marketing points.pic.twitter.com/r3MpJj5Qvx

We’re working to update these docs. Compared to last year, raw JS parsing speed has doubled in
@v8js, and in Chrome we can move 40% of parsing/compilation work off the main thread nowadays. +@addyosmani - 1 more reply
