A bit more resource-heavy, but apparently acceptable for a wide range of
apps.
I agree that "extending" is a better choice here, but beyond the
performance gains by moving "low level binary data processing" to
JavaScript (would be nice if someone hasd time to post some
apples-to-apples comparisons), what I find most interesting in these
discussions is that most of the interest expressed thus far has been for
UI elements, something previously seen as LC's sweet spot.
