#3OK, but at what cost ? How much time investment ? How much experience is required ?
Is this article written by a marketer ?

#4To denigrate so much of modern web technologies in the name of performance, and then use Typescript, over which you have no fine grained control of the performance of the transpiled code, is absolutely laughable.

#5Then show the app? Not the screenshot of the app. The app itself.

#6As someone who got out of the web dev game before reaact, I feel like everyone using react has led to most of the web sites (and mobile apps) feeling slow. My judgy view is that when you see apps that appear to be single page but take noticeable time to load their content - that's react. And as someone who built a spreadsheet app in.. say 2006, you have to go native to get good performance. But I base my observations on no real data :)

Do you know any specific cases in which typescript generates badly performing code as part of transpiring to JS? Any cases that aren't due to targeting older JD versions for browser compatibility?

#8Not a great article. The big thing is JSX; it's so much more pleasant than building UIs with the document/element api.

Author here. JSX makes it easy to do easy things.
Building DOM is not a hard problem at all. Yes, it's more tedius with Vanilla DOM. But that's not a hard problem.
Hard problem is making it fast, reliable and predictable.
