  1. "JavaScript is the web's CO2. We need some of it, but too much puts the entire ecosystem at risk." Great writeup from 2018 by @slightlylate I get the feeling there is as little done about JS pollution as the real CO2 problem :-( infrequently.org/2018/09/the-developer-experience-bait-and-switch/

      @slightlylate I think this is something where the "curators" like Apple and Google should do more to encourage and reward apps which work well on a wide range of devices. Google does(did?) it for the web and that is commendable developers.google.com/web/updates/2018/07/search-ads-speed

      @slightlylate I think Alex hits the nail on the head on one of the issues. Which is not a JS specific one. Developers are mostly rich(er) and equipped with the latest hardware, they don't feel the pain of using their app or website on older hardware with small screens and a slow network.
