LOL, this explains why every embedded GUI I encounter in these "smart" devices is awfully sluggish and a pain to use, delivering 5fps at most. Thx for the clarification!
One only has to pick the same app, implemented natively on comparable iPhone and Android hardware to see that the underlying language runtime, that’s NOT garbage collected, is the one with the buttery-smooth UI. With JS “native” or web whatever, it’s even more pronounced on the SAME hardware.
Yep. Last week I had the joy of checking the infotainment system of my friend’s new car, for which Renault thought it was a good idea to use this Android fork or whatever, with a touchscreen interface of course. It was comically bad! The latency, the framerate, the whole user experience was utter crap. If they had literally glued a 2G iPhone from 2007 to the dashboard it would have been better than this embedded Android GUI. And I refuse to believe that the hardware in a 2020 executive car is less performant than a phone from 13 years ago, so the culprit has to be the software...
