please, current software - not event thinking about Electron-like things, just the software that comes with operating systems, be it Finder, explorer.exe, even fucking photo viewers and music players or terminals - are already slow and frustrating enough as is, it's not like message passing is going to make shit happen faster.

I saw a Pharo (smalltalk) demo recently, the damn thing was so slow to react I thought it was a bad joke. Can't even begin to imagine what actual message passing would look like - oh wait, I do actually know due to spending 6 hours last weekend finding why a software had uncomfortable mouse interaction, actually caused by fucking objc_msgSend making everything async and slow on that wretched Apple OS.
