Love auch JS deep dives. I am myself a C++ and now (partially because of you) Rust developer and like this performance stuff 😁 Since I just start using JS I like listening to JS ninjas like you are. This is much more interesting than most low level JS stuff on YT 😁 Thanks for your high octane videos ✌️

yaya! I do love the technical content and i think its super fun.
Really enjoy the technical stuff! As someone who has more than a casual relationship with JS, these kind of engaging technical analyses are super useful on a very regular basis
My favorite type of videos from you! I use JS all the time and see the spread pattern constantly, never thought to consider the GC impact under the hood but makes total sense!
It’s crazy that I’ve watched your channel on twitch and KZread for years and learn something new every time I listen Thank you!
I am a junior dev, but even understanding only about 50% / 60% I am learning so much watching your videos, thanks for this incredible quality videos!

Please do these type of videos more. Love it
These are the primeagen videos I enjoy the most! Keep them coming
I really enjoyed this video and yes I would like to see more content where you do a code review just like this. KZread is filled with junior developer content. It is hard as an intermediate to find content that improves your skill set/skill level. I think with your knowledge base your technical review of code is extremely beneficial.
I love this! This is the data based advanced stuff that no one else on KZread really does. With realworld fang experience to back it too!
Super high quality video. One of your best yet
Hey Mr./Ms. video editor, loved the "Not sure what he wanted me to do here lol" :D I always forget most of the good content creators have an editor making these guys much better than they would be on their own. You are doing a good job btw, whoever you are.
Mna, these kind of content is all I need!! Thanks for sharing. Performance, performance, performance!!! Learn how to dig inside the runner and understand what parts of your code is taking longer and then debug to get it better is what everyone should learn. I know it's advanced for a lot of people, but learn how to debug is an art that we all should give more attention to. Again, I'm 1000% for more content like this!!!
love all your videos, keep up the technical side and I love your Go content!
Man I'm so grateful for you communicating this stuff in 10 min chunks so good ty sir
It was a great video, i would like to see more content like this. My opinion on the vid was that the setup could be shorter, the explanation of the code a bit longer and the ending was perfect! Performance is a difficult topic and these videos really help explain your thought process, please make more of them.
Great video, super smart way of showing off GC operations and how to work around them.
Oh Prime these technical JS deep dives are fire 🔥🔥🔥
I loved this, I love your technical videos, MOAR CODE!!!
Great stuff! Interesting to listen these more technical topics.
Love this deep dive.. keep it technical, go deeeeeep sir, deeep!
Love these walk throughs. Great to have more
Dude I love this video. Got to watch it again.
The amount of energy this guy can summon while talking about such dry topics is truly impressive
this is exactly the kind of content needed, deep dive into certain things...
Thanks for the content. I've been working on how to rework blockchains without so much promise dependency...love these thought experiments. Best...hope the Volcano experiment works out!
It really worked for me after I look and try some tutorials, yours is the one that worked. Owe you a lot.

Personally I like the more technical videos you make. These walkthroughs and explanations are extremely valuable imo. And as always the editing is top-notch, Flip is the man.
I'd love to see a conversation between you and the React devs about the "Immutable" philosophy. So many new objects, every single render, it hurts...

@@chrishamilton1728 Immutability is a sound concept that is. There are a number of ways to implement it in a far more performant manner. Sadly, javascript arrays and objects have pretty much none of the characteristics needed. There are libraries like Immutable JS, but that also falls short because no library is going to pass us an immutable list, for example after a database query. So you would have to make at least one copy of the array when converting to Immutable. How about we just skip JS on the server, at least where performance matters?

I really like these break-down videos where you show us what not to do and what to do if we want to go BLAZINGLY fast!

Lots of the time people are writing code that's more IO bound than CPU bound, but it's still useful to know these tricks for the areas where you are in a hot CPU loop
I have pressed all the buttons! I love these videos, I am incredibly interested in internals and how performance can be increased. Please dish out more!

your amazing but that editor does wonders too, props to that dude/lady whoever he/she is xD
I wrote a streaming regex engine and it hammers the GC pretty hard because it needs to create an object for each state it passes through, and on any real text and expression it passes through a lot. I studied its perf because I thought I'd have to pool the state objects, but instead profiling showed that I was only spending ~20% of my time doing GCs. That's because v8's generational garbage collector is optimized for the collection of objects that are small, short-lived, and have a common structure/shape. Engineers should not shy away from using those kinds of objects!
Really great content. Love it 😀

Awesome & Greatness!! Very Excellent point!! That's why I sometimes, do not use Promises especially if it takes a lot of time.. But it all depends on the data how you use them and put them onto the objects.
I love these science adjacent videos, they are like reading scientific articles but more fun
I'd love to see one of these showing the Promise issue you mentioned!

As a newbie to programming I didn't not have a clue what the Primeagen was talking about, but I still really enjoyed it.
Hey Prime, I checked out your course on Frontend Masters, but I don't wana pay for their monthly membership just for your courses - I'd rather just buy courses from you. Also, I would really love a comprehensive backend course (in Js(ts) and/or rust) from you. You're one of the most entertaining and technically competent programmers on youtube. I'd love to learn from you!

actual technical content about a language that no one really thinks about technically is the true performance optimization involved here
I’ve heard that reference counting is a good strategy for UI’s. Would this mean that front end apps could get better performance with Rust and Wasm using ref counting (as wasm catches up with V8)?
