Immediate mode gives very predictable performance l

Awesome!

With Gnome and KDE both going towards mobile AND Andriod going towards desktop with windowing and a taskbar, I think this might be the best way to go to develop cross-platform responsive networking apps. Especially considering this performance. 🤘🌞

There are tradeoffs… you tend to have to redraw the entire frame anytime something changes. but when the entire thing renders in 1-2ms… thats predictable perf at the expense of slightly more cpu use on average

Although im not even sure thats true, some of these new retained mode frameworks (jetpack compose/swiftui) are cpu hogs

Yeah, very possible, they have become quite complex. And so many of these new frameworks have ten-thousand and one dependencies and often not designed with security as a top priority.
