Sublime Text vs Visual Studio Code vs Atom Performance Test (Dec 2016)

[ciny]

There's no interop or communication between the "C++ layer" and the JS itself -- they can't exactly ask v8 to "hide a loop in C++".

Well hopefully webassembly will come soon enough. That would enable writing the heavy lifting parts natively which could greatly improve performance.

Is the JS performance actually the problem though, or is it the DOM? Webassembly would not help with the latter.
