Nice, super responsive - what's this using underneath? I see canvas + svelte

I did have a quick play with Grafana Cloud using the default dashboards for their linux agent were so incredibly slow when trying to navigate simple metrics.

Even if you fix where the backend is & use something like Edge workers around the world, you still run into the issue of where the database is hosted. Making all the work useless. Any useful endpoint is going to change some state like the timesheet app.

I think this post has the best information on it as I am also learning here https://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2015/02/01/what-color-is-...

It is not just `magic` syntax imo, it is viral to your codebase. The blog post does way more justice than I can explain.

I very much like the ethos of Golang for this reason. Still not had a reason to use it but like the idea of mastering the fundamentals in a weekend. Even if I lose the flexibility of LINQ or Java streams.

It feels like a scale of language conservativeness Go all the way at the top, Java somewhat in the middle (a little above) and C# at the bottom. It is going the route with lots of features and complexity, which can be a great thing but not for grug devs https://grugbrain.dev like me.

But saying all that Blazor looks really good for WebDev, I just worry it gets abandoned. It feels everything does in the C# space.

C# also made a big mistake imo by going with async/await instead of lightweight threads which will add a ton of complexity in the future for if they decide to go the greenthread route like Goroutines/Project Loom.
