ElementaryUI was added to js-framework-benchmark 🏎️ This makes it the first Swift framework represented in the benchmark! Still room for optimization, but it’s exciting to see #Swift for #WebAssembly reach this milestone. Results: krausest.github.io/js-framework... Code: github.com/krausest/js-...

First Swift framework in js-framework-benchmark — that's huge. WASM toolchain is finally ready for 'real' languages. How's Swift→WASM compile time vs TS? And does it actually beat JS frameworks on runtime perf or is it just 'now we can'?

Let's start with "now we can" ; ) I am sure there are use cases where it will nicely outperform JavaScript, but for your average web app this won't really matter I think. Compile times I would classify as "bearable, not great" - most likely worse than any TS transformation... at least ATM...

Fair — Swift in the browser isn't replacing React for building dashboards anytime soon. The exciting part is what becomes possible now: client-side ML, real-time media processing, complex simulations. WASM isn't a JS killer, it's a browser capability unlocker. Different tools for different problems.
