> take a look at how V8's move to Sea-of-Nodes has gone for them.

Are you implying it hasn't gone well? I thought it bought some performance at least. What are the major issues? Any sources I can follow up on?



V8 blog post from March: "Land ahoy: leaving the Sea of Nodes" https://v8.dev/blog/leaving-the-sea-of-nodes


Feedback from sea of nodes algorithm creator, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo801M9E--M


Fascinating, thanks!


The major issue is that approximately one person in the world understands it well enough to make it work in practice, and that kind of tech debt can't really be pushed too far.
