True, I didn’t structure my sentence correctly.

It gets to compete with Java and Python because it’s also JIT is what I meant to say.

Absolutely, it’s just one aspect of it, benchmarking is always narrow in scope. Some languages may be good at some things and worse at others.

Oh PHP is hands down one of the slowest languages out there. It’s just convenient because it’s easy to host, but it’s awful to use and it’s really slow.

Here, have a chart:

In this chart, where the benchmark is calculating digits of π, Java is faster than JS, but there are cases where it’s the opposite.

Node.js is really not a bad backend language, since it’s JIT, it’s actually faster than Python and Java in most cases.

Rust will definitely have the advantage of being a compiled language though.

Source: I write both Java and TS backend code, have done benchmarks.

Or a name

And those same people will often also refuse to pay for services.

It’s a pay or become the product world out there, site hosting ain’t free.

Gotta love circular reporting.

Correct, this two-sided discourse is due to a massive lack of communication on Mozilla’s part, leaving room for speculation.

I like it

Could you cite the reports for us?

Yeah MATE is lighter but the margin is small since it’s basically GNOME 2.

Still is almost as light performance and memory footprint wise when talking about GNOME 46.

Base GNOME isn’t much larger than MATE.

They all fucking suck

Good S0ix support. At the moment, Linux mostly fails to sleep correctly on modern S0ix laptops, which happens to be most modern laptops.

This means the battery drains incredibly fast, and S0ix features aren’t being used, which is unfortunate as it has potential for quick wake, lid closed actions and limiting battery drain while asleep (since S0ix can eventually hibernate automatically from a sleep state)

Also the boot loader could be improved, systemd-boot needs to support secure boot natively so we can be rid of the slow, ancient and scary-looking GRUB.

ITT: It’s sketchy and will possibly mess with your Wayland set up.

There’s no way to otherwise make this work for many users. They can use Tor if they’re worried.

You’re talking about extensions.

Extensions that don’t come from GNOME are not supported at all, they’ve made that clear. If they wanted to, they could just stop allowing third party extensions altogether.

This is because they hook directly into GNOME Shell’s’ internal JS, which changes every release as they refactor it for performance or feature changes. Developers have a few months before release to adjust their extensions for the newer version.

Personally, I just raw dog vanilla GNOME for stability, and it works fine.
