Yes. It's the most cost-effective solution, because:

- we haven't figured out how to make companies care about "delivering value" part of the "delivering value in exchange for money" work, and

- we allow them to dump externalities on users without consequences or compensation.

So the most cost-effective solution in this scheme will be a half-assed product that's barely good enough to be sellable, and which makes my computer use more electricity while being less capable of running software simultaneously.

And the whole point of native components in Vue/react is to reduce those negative externalities, but the first thread I see in this post is criticizing Vue for sharing from react's ecosystem instead of inventing an indentical solution from scratch?

At the current rate we will soon have phones with 8GB RAM and who knows how many cores not having to rewrite same code 3 times in 3 lang. will def. be catching on more.

If by soon you mean in 2 years on flagships (looking at current specs, I don't buy it), then for regular users buying regular smartphones it'll be ~7 years from now.

I don't feel like this is a valid justification for being wasteful, though.

The OPO 6 is out now with 8GB RAM, so no not in two years, let alone 7.

That's an outlier, pretty niche one at that.

(Personally, I didn't even realize OnePlus phones still exist - I thought they died out somewhere around OnePlus 3.)

Actually, now that I'm looking into it - the OPO 3T had 8gb of RAM as well :P It's been a while!

I do think though that we will only be seeing more and more of this, and very soon.
