An abridged list of requirements to use React the way FB does for mobile web: - staff dedicated performance team - set hard perf targets that no CL can violate (enforced by CI) - have a separate "mbasic" version of the service and send users to it that can't handle heavy JShttps://twitter.com/mikeal/status/1159165205428879360 …

And no, Search doesn't use Lit, but no Google service with tons of traffic doesn't have budgets enforced by CI. There's nothing ironic about this. Legacy desktop frameworks are heavy and leave you with less headroom and teams have to employ discipline to cope.

And no, a modern framework that isn't carrying around a ton of legacy browser baggage doesn't fix things on it's own, but it buys teams headroom...and headroom matters.

I think both camps have important roles to play, just think we are creating separate echo chambers. Nothin I say here will be new to you.

If it FB were talking about the discipline they have to employ to make React work (the way I'm describing the FB/Google prior restraints on slowness), would that help?

There's a huge gap in the community understanding of what it takes to get and stay fast. The amount of tooling and discipline -- particularly when you start with a high tax rate -- is intense.

I don’t think you are wrong here. I think this is a misunderstanding of front end in general. People think it is easy.
