Funny that you say "not even remotely close" while providing zero evidence yourself, but then ask other people to present their evidence.

There you go. There's the evidence. No goalpost-moving, please.
For evidence that Javascript can be used to build large, production-quality applications, see coldtea's comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37568707 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37568707
- DarkNova6 3y agoSpeed is achieved via optimization, which is achieved via constraints. Javascript is being known for its inefficiency. Saying JS is just as fast is a hot take and whoever claims that has the burden to proof otherwise. Sorry, about benchmarks I just quote myself: > I take these performance benchmarks with a rock of salt. They are mostly hyper-optimzied generics which are as far away from actual production code as it can be. They are written in a way to allocate as little memory as possible and is done by people who know exactly what they are doing.
