Yeah, you can go pretty far with JS performance. I’ve been a fan. I find it’s harder to maintain than C, Zig, C++, Rust, etc. It’s really easy to break performant JS code. No types, allocations are hard to control without extreme discipline. It’s so flexible and you have to give up a lot of that to get performance out of JS.
React is a whole beast.
It would be neat to see some JS devs killing some benchmarks.
