Kobold, a new web UI crate with zero-cost static DOM
The TodoMVC implemented in Kobold weighs about 30kb when gzipped over the wire, out of which the gzipped Wasm blob is under 20kb. There are no tricks there . I haven't replaced the default allocator, nor have I minified the JavaScript (although I probably should).

I think I kind of hate lazy loading
Yesterday I was on a train. I clicked on a link and my browser loaded a long article for me to read. Halfway through reading it, the train went into a tunnel and I lost signal. That meant I couldn't see the images on the other half of the page for the rest of the journey. I had a sea of broken images. Even though the…
