> Javascript are still quite slow, inconsistent and memory inefficient outside of trivial benchmarks.

I thought this meme was dead already. Of course, you might not be able to squeeze out the same amount of performance compared to a brilliantly written C or Rust program, but for what it is, JavaScript is pretty damn fast already.

DOM manipulation on the other hand, is still a very common bottleneck people come across when writing typical JavaScript code.
