One nice thing about SVGs is that they can be connected to the dom, you can do css, and easier to debug than canvas. Performance is the only thing holding it back from making declarative code for plotting and mapping charts.

> Unkey's landing page is a nice example. That landing page is a nauseatingly laggy experience on a very powerful M1 Pro laptop. And slow to load, all for some fancy lines? I'd take a product that focuses on substance over style as dev. Don't get me wrong, style is important and I like pretty things, but here it seems the tradeoff is not well done.
Apple's M series chips aren't really all that powerful, but they are very power efficient. There are far faster laptops out there than what Apple offers, though they do consume more power. My AMD-based laptop outperforms the M1 Pro by a wide margin, though it is a power hog. I had no problem viewing the Unkey website. If you're using Safari, that may also be a problem, because Safari honestly sucks.
I also made a game called Pro Office Calculator (available on Steam), which includes a Doom-style 3D engine for which I used Inkscape as my map editor. Here’s an example of a map: https://github.com/robjinman/pro_office_calc/blob/develop/da...
I wrote a game of Tetris in JavaScript with SVG many years ago. It had nice graphics and was smoothly animated. I hadn’t heard of anyone else using SVG like that at the time.

In terms of single threaded performance, they are both. Especially the IPC is very impressive take a look at for example https://github.com/Voultapher/sort-research-rs/blob/main/wri...
> Assuming the same instructions per cycle (IPC) and mapping of instructions to cycles, Zen 3 should be ~1.53x faster than Firestorm by virtue of clock frequency. Yet the micro-architecture released in the same year as Zen 3, goes from exceeding it to closely trailing it in terms of absolute throughput when the effects of branch misprediction are minimized.
Their newest generation of P-cores is simply unmatched in terms of ST perf, an M4 core can do 4k points in Geekbench ST, AMD's best Desktop offering does ~3.5k at a much higher clock frequency. For web browsing ST perf is king.
