> Svelte is great. React is great. X, Y and Z are also great. And you know what they all share as well? Speed. They are all fast.
we don't live in the same universe. even with powerful computers, browsing any friggin modern website is an exercice in pain and frustration, everything, literally every interaction is slow when you compare to the average desktop app
Agree, and I think this is the point of the article too.
If we are going to say things like "React is fast" then it needs a further clarification - fast compared to what?
Are we comparing it to C, jQuery, Angular, Pure Javascript, or a Commedore 64? Because it doesn't make sense to say it is fast if there isn't something to compare it against.
(In reality, I suspect it is only really "fast" if you compare it with something slow).
