acostin commented on Hermes – A small JavaScript engine optimized for running React Native on Android   github.com/facebook/herme... · Posted by u/smoser

We have done some internal tests of Hermes on a RN experience within Microsoft Office on Android.

Currently we use V8 with bytecode caching on Android, since it provided better startup performance than the JSC engine that normally ships within RN. So the baseline is likely already faster than stock RN.

V8 runtime Memory Impact: 30MB Hermes runtime memory impact: 21.5MB

V8 time to interaction: 1.4s Hermes time to interaction: 1.1s

We have done similar experiments on a full react-native-windows application, replacing the Chakra JS engine (also already with bytecode so faster than stock RN) with Hermes and had app boot time on a low end device go from 3.8s to 3.1s.

If you're going to do a "rebrand" atleast use a better name. A six syllable word doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

Also at the top there's this comment:

  <!-- BC_OBNW -->
also see: http://twitter.com/#!/bc_obnw

And if you view a screenshot of the html of the top of the page and compare that with the BC website:

http://cl.ly/2g2w0I3w0L1m1R1j1Z1O vs http://cl.ly/0m3Y0s0J3r0d3H3h4626

When you think of it, it is very possible that the website's theme/html/CSS was built using muse at one point, but then it might have been transformed into a BC theme/template

This is correct, the site is hosted on Business Catalyst, but the generated markup is pure Muse.

BC can host any HTML files, we don't enforce a specific markup or template constraints.

This software, Muse, was not used to build that website.

The software used is Business Catalyst (http://businesscatalyst.com/), an enterprise CMS (all-in-one solution urgh) Adobe bought 2-3 years ago. And yes, the semantics are very bad.

In fact, I disliked this piece of software so much, I wrote a post about it a few months ago: http://arnorhs.com/2011/01/19/11-reasons-why-business-cataly...

Hi Arnorhs, I am Alexandru working for Adobe, and I recently took over Business Catalyst.

We did read your review and took it at heart - it wasn't easy as you were very direct. However, there is a lot of truth in your review and there's a lot for us to improve. And believe me, that's our goal - to improve the product until customers love it and we have folks like you give us much better reviews :) - because you would actually like the product.

I'd love to chat with you and try to show you where we're going and get your perspective on what should we do differently. Your feedback would be very important for us.

If you're interested, please contact me at acostin@adobe.com

Sincerely,

Alexandru
