@hamiltonulmer We used to call this event delegation. Pre-React it was a common pattern to minimize overhead, and make cleaning up DOM listeners a bit easier.

[nate @n8agrin]

@hamiltonulmer I've been interested in building something along these lines for my own edification. I've been considering something like write in Rust > compile to WASM > render to canvas, with some api to support css like styling.

Why are you interested in this now?

If there's one parable I could teach engineers who aspire to become better at their craft it's this:

Two lumberjacks, one young and one old, are working in a forest...

[nate @n8agrin]

After a few days of this, the young lumberjack finally confesses to the older one:

"Every day I try to cut more wood than you, and every day you seem to cut as much as me. And you disappear for a few hours. What are you doing while you are gone?"
