It still targets the browser though, so you still get all the complexities anyway, just without well supported syntax. Idk man I like Rust but this doesn't seem like the right way here.

It's not much of a competitor with this performance. From the OpenChatKit model they claim to be using:

> Write a rhyming poem about ray tracing

OpenChatKit: The sun is shining

The birds are singing, and the flowers are blooming. I'm so glad that I'm alive, and I'm so glad that I'm here. I'm so glad that I'm alive, and I'm so glad that I'm here. I'm so glad that I'm alive, and I'm so glad that I'm here. [repeated several more times]

ChatGPT: In a world of graphics, sharp and bright, Where realism is the ultimate sight, There's a technique that takes the lead, It's called ray tracing, indeed!

Ray tracing is a visual art, That sets the scene right from the start, By tracing rays of light in the air, It creates an image beyond compare.

Please can Electron die already? Almost every Electron program I use could be a PWA. Slack has no reason to need another browser engine running. You could make a point for native integration, but there is none. And all it does is display text (and images). What a world we live in. Worse is better, amirite?

I didn't say there was anything wrong with statsd itself, just that it's not a particularly complex application. You can produce a working, useful (to some people) web application/website/whatever people call this shit nowadays but it will not be very fast if you don't optimize anything.

Slack is a web app that is incredibly slow, but still useful: yes, I can send people messages and it doesn't immediately crash, but it also takes up ~300mb of RAM on a fresh tab, which is completely absurd. I still use it because I have to but if it was optimized by people who had a clue what they were doing, it would be significantly faster, and use less memory.
