That's a lot of absolutes. And there is no defensible proof, just anecdotal evidence. I've been in a few companies from EU and US - and in my experience it is not ture. However after working for US companies I can understand why one would come to your conclusion, however the world is bigger than our bubbles.

Lit also does fine without VDOM and has good performance characteristics.

RiotJS as well.

You are holding it wrong ;)

So all your microservices implement sagas or other synchronisation patterns that ensure 100% data consistency?

If you distribute the state over ALL your services and need 100% data consistency you’re holding it wrong

Ok, how big percentage of them implement data consistency in your company? :)

No one pushes for anything agressive in Poland - the only narrative is that we and baltics should be ready to defend ourselves.

Try https://channelstream.org/ - you can talk via rest calls to it - it scales up to thousands of connections on a single small machine. You have tiny JS WS/long pool clients available with reconnection logic or you can roll your own if you like.

Thing is Kobo doesn't tie you anywhere - I use it in europe - I never ever used their online store even once.

I have Kobo H2O and it works great till this day. I charge it very rarly - maybe every 2-3 months. It reads everything I like. And it was one of the first with IP68 certification.

I really love what Nicolas is doing. But it kinda feels like whole Haxe ecosystem driving force is this one guy.

The feeling is understandable and it could be worrying, but since some years Nicolas seems to be focusing on Shiro games and game dev tooling (heaps, hide). The compiler is developed by the Haxe Foundation and the ecosystem by the community which is not that big but has quite a few talents.
