The web has gone super-linear, tho. Our data shows we're getting worse faster than HW is improving. Also, in many segments, HW is not improving. Double-whammy, and JS bloat is the root cause.

I'd be curious for some analysis on what bits are growing, if you understand what I'm asking. Like, as in, what is it that is trying to be done that we could avoid here with better features and still meet expectations

The community is largely rejecting non-user-space answers. Many causes, but all lead to bad client-side experiences.

Ah, sorry for the late reply. One small example: I can't tell you how many copies of Promise (and Promise-alike) polyfills I see in apps I dissect.

Other examples abound, but in general the view amongst the frontend community is that JS is cheap (it's not) or that hardware is getting faster (in growth markets, it's not).
