đŸ§” Two of my most- and first-used checks when doing a performance audit are surprisingly old school: 1) Validate HTML 2) Disable JS.

Validate HTML? Yep. We haven’t really cared about ‘valid HTML’ for valid HTML’s sake for about a decade, but certain errors can actually be pretty significant. What’s wrong with this picture?
It’s this lil’ fella right here. isn’t allowed in the , so when the browser encounters the , it assumes the should have been closed already.
This is a feature. This is what allows us to omit certain closing tags like

, , , and—you guessed it!—. The appearance of certain opening tags implies the closing of certain preceding ones.
The practical upshot of which is that non- elements early-terminate the tags, pushing all of your important resources into the . Oops!
Disable JavaScript? I think building sites for people who’ve turned JS off is an expensive waste of time: they’ve turned it off! Leave them to it. But! I do feel it’s vital that we can fail reasonably elegantly when JS fails (and it will).
I strongly hold @adactio and @jaffathecake’s respective (and paraphrased) opinions about JS: ‘How well does it fail?’ and ‘All your users are non-JS until your JS is downloaded and run’.
From a performance perspective, I don’t want to see your core content buried away in JS. JS is slower than HTML. If you need JS to display core content, you’re on the slow path. The quickest way for me to ascertain whether content is coming out of JS? Disable it!
Do I care that CNN doesn’t work with JS disabled? Not necessarily. But immediately I can see that their content is reliant on the successful download and execution of JS. This is always going to be slower than having it in the HTML—the first (and successful) response.

(1) Some haters of #Cardano are not only bag holders but also imperative developers.

If you are an imperative programmers you know that Plutus is not the most intuitive -> (https://t.co/m3fzq7rJYb)

It is, however, intuitive for people with IT financial background, e.g. banks

(2)

IELE + k framework will be a real game changer because there will be DSLs (Domain Specific Languages) in any programming language supported by K framework. The only issue is that we need to wait for all this

(3) Good news is that the moment we get IELE integrated into Cardano, we get some popular langs. To my knowledge we should get from day one: Solidity and Rust, maybe others as well?

List of langs:

#Cardano

(a) Last but not least, marketing to people with Haskell, functional programming with experience and decision makers in banks is a tricky one, how do you market but not tell them you want to replace them. In the end one strategy is to pitch new markets, e.g. developing world

(b) As banks realize what is happening they maybe more inclined to join - not because they would like to but because they will have to - in such cases some development talent maybe re-routed to Plutus / Cardano / Algorand / Tezos
