I think you’re saying that decades of r&d by the largest tech companies in the world can eventually produce a browser runtime that renders text about as fast as a couple people working in python and C.

Imagine what could have been achieved had the same amount of R&D been poured into a native framework.

    Except our organization builds python and java apps so all our shit is multiplatform by default or even by accident. Hell, I put together consistent, cross platform Swing UIs before I even understood what maven was.
