Why mobile web apps are slow
I really liked this article: I think he was very methodical in challenging current dogma that GC/VM operations can be made as fast or faster than slightly lower level approaches.<p>For the curious, I have a simple benchmark program that focuses on string manipulation (and deliberately creates many temp string objects, like a real app would) in various languages.  If anybody wants to download and try it on the latest version of their favorite languages on the host-de-jure, go for it!<p><a href="https://github.com/roboprog/mp_bench" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/roboprog/mp_bench</a>
