2026-01-28 19:46:44 UTC

I'm a firm believer of "the less shell scripts the better".
Shell is awful, obfuscated, and should stay a scripting language
No amount of scripting is a replacement for code portability and shell script wrappers make software unpleasant to use, especially when they don't have completions. Why do we need to generate completions? Why can't we have good things in 2026 and have self-documenting software? Ironically I think the only use case that I don't mind is BusyBox
"But it solves this problem just fine"
Okay but can anyone read it once it's written. The only thing it has going for it is that it's not Batch.
And I mean, Fish and similar are fiine, but don't make script files coherent enough to actually replace shell scripts for me

Well, if we put stock Windows 10 on a 3GB RAM dual core Celeron laptop from 2009, then it would run like shit, JavaScript barely makes a dent into that when it can barely start up Chrome
Been there, done that, almost a decade ago. It'd be unusable now
And a lot of it is Microsoft's planned obsolescence than anything. The laptop could run cracked Photoshop CS5, 3D modelling applications, and a fuckton of other stuff. Even web dev and messy JavaScript stuff ran relatively fine.
It had a 5400RPM HDD though, which got wrecked by Windows 10's aggressive I/O
I don't think we've ever had a RAM problem with any device ever, despite owning mostly low-end devices till like 2016/7, and we've made niche web applications with embedded Chromium work fine on the aforementioned laptop all the way in 2018, for a school project (if it survived Windows).
Frameworks still do relatively the same stuff anyway, there's not like, JavaScript 2 that would be twice as expensive to run. It adds up though. Screens are bigger, there's more "content" on websites, the web is more overwhelming, time is more expensive, ads are everywhere, devices have more superficial features. JavaScript or not, modern web would still be a fucking mess. That flashing GIF banner ad from 2007 that would be 70kB would be a 2MB MP4 in an iframe nowadays. It's not really the frameworks at that point, authors of those at least somewhat respect performance. It's the companies and management that push garbage not respecting people's devices or privacy.

2025-07-25 14:53:02 UTC

- reply

well that's not entirely fair since single thread performance has grown less than multi-threaded, and stuff like Ruffle does indeed prove there is significantly more headroom now.
People take it for granted to have a tab with YouTube playing music, another one with Discord on a voice call.
And sure, some of the performance gets eaten by frameworks. But the data encryption has gotten stronger, the protocols are most robust, image formats better compressed, browser processes are isolated, videos are 1080p, etc.

I don't need modern tech to make a website run like shit

I can't agree with the take that we can't have memory safety just so we can jailbreak shit
I think that's solving the problem from the entirely wrong end :neofox_woozy:
- EoL hardware is eventually gonna have some vulnerabilities *either way*
- just because such exploits also help *companies* make old hardware and software obsolete faster after security updates stop, and not everyone is capable of jailbreaking or wants to do it
- old devices are not gonna be backported to memory safe languages (unsurprisingly), and for modern ones a single memory vulnerability will likely not be enough to escape any sandbox or DRM the manufacturer creates either way
Not wanting Rust or some shit is like the least useful way to advocate for actually owning your hardware

We did look into bwrap but also into gaol a bit since we're using Rust to begin with and might as well use parts of Servo
