          Ah ok, totally fair IMO. Locked down languages just suck after their counterparts have moved forward (like c# or java).

            I mean, it depends on the type of person you are i guess. are you writing code for work? Or is it for yourself? I myself feel like i want to walk down the path richard walks down, and dump all this crap we use and run, and go 100% libre. It’s not like i have any friends and don’t really communicate with the outside world much other than in person with family or on places like lemmy.

      Disagreed, memory Limiting definitely helps with over-consumption. Can’t consume all the RAM when you only have access to 8GB of it.

        I will agree with you that VANILLA JavaScript isn’t to blame, but all the frameworks and packages are.

          Yes, being shitty at their jobs. even the frameworks/packages are not to blame. its which you pick and how you use them.

          for peoples context: just checked a few sites most range in the 30MB-150MB per page. which is pretty reasonable for the complexity of the websites involved. one included a streaming service actively playing a video.

          Its just that these things add up across 100 tabs.
