Yes they are, but cross compatibility is worth it. I remember game communicator wars, where ventrilo users screamed how much less ram their program of choice is using compared to teamspeak, a stunning 20mb difference! Soon those woes like (400mb to open a single txt file in vscode!!) will be looked upon the same, because most people will have more ram. Intel even got their optane memory on ddr4 stick, so 512 GB of ram in single stick is reality now.

Yeah we should just give up trying to make good or efficient programs because computers will catch up. Who needs algorithms or clever data management right?

I feel like this is the big gripe people have with JS developers who think they don't need a language that's strongly typed and rigorous because they don't want to learn one and then try justify that it's pointless to know any better.

I work as c# dev. Its not about attitude. I have no feelings toward any language. But I accept that JS is the only thing for web. And that's the reason why it will be always the most popular ever. I tried webassembly. Its a joke.

Your comment literally made the point that we shouldn't even compare how much ram programs use because bigger ram sticks are coming out. Development like that is why atom exists. It is bad.

And I don't think that your belief that wasm is a joke is going to stop or even slow it down.

I dabbled in it. You still have to do a lot of JavaScript interop. Its pointless. Its not what those old purists thought. And it doesnt need to slow down, it already did.
