@mathias remember our recent "debate" about whether people still in 2019 think of JS parsing times as being a bottleneck?

Seems like this is still very much an issue with a fair bit of attention.

As you know, I disagree with that statement. Remember when I pointed out our articles/data on this are incorrect/outdated? https://twitter.com/mathias/status/1125096214641254400 … This write-up is premised on that data.

They awknowledge in the article that parsing in v8 has dramatically improved lately. Anyway, my point then, and now, is not that JS parsing is slow, but that it's still an issue people care about and that is still motivating projects/experiments. It's not a moot/settled issue.
