I don't understand how people can say React is too slow on mobile when React Native exists (and the huge amount of apps that prove otherws)
-

fwiw when people said Ember was too slow I dove in and took it seriously. Same with
@sebmarkbage. It's real. -
glad you all do. Just think it's a blanket statement, & there are specific solvable problems. I've heard "React not even close to prod rdy"
-
Mostly from the
@slightlylate s of the world. I've heard "ember is disqualified" despite many prod users. -
I think it's just too easy to build un performant react native apps
-
also i think react isn't supposed to be fast, but instead usable through large enterprisey teams. built for collab not speed.
-
The sticky issue is the distribution model; RN (& Cordova, etc.) spots you first-run via heavyweight install step.
-
Yeah. I think Service Worker is the answer for many kinds of apps here, but we're still a bit out from ubiquitous understanding

My frustrations with web apps is that a lot of jank happens because there is no separate UI thread, something native does better.
-
You can build the most performant web application around, but if there is noticable pauses in the UI & interaction it just feels broken.
-
If there is a way to run all the non-UI code in a worker and push view changes over that would free up a lot of space in that 16ms budget.
-
Alternatively you can be careful with budgets. requestIdleCallback + generators are pretty nice. Workers help too.
