To beat an incumbent you need to be 2x better. Right now it seems to be a 1.1x better (for any reasonably sized projects) work in progress with kinks you’d expect from a work in progress and questionable ecosystem buy-in. That may be okay for hobby projects or tiny green field projects, but I’m absolutely not gonna risk serious company projects with it.

Seems awfully close to 2x, and that was last year.

2x in specific microbenchmarks doesn’t translate to big savings in practice. We don’t serve a static string with an application server in prod.
