  1. whoa, if i just use sprites (instead of procedural graphics) my functional cljs graphics experiment easily updates 1k+ objects at 60fps

      the reconciling logic for procedural graphics is slow, then, but the approach as a whole is not without merit. hm hm.

        what makes e.g. react fast is figuring out the minimal updates to make on the assumption that most of the ui does not actually change often

          this is an important optimization, but in games (unlike UIs) it is not unreasonable for a few hundred things to be updating every frame

            so i've been testing functionally reconciling a lot of changing objects (rotating asteroids) as a stress test, and 1k+ was kind of my goal
