1988 AS400 vs 2024 JavaScript

Text on the meme

JS JavaScript 1988 AS400 Uses RPG / COBOL Serves webapp for a hospital of 300.000 population no issue with 1988 hardware and millions of querys and reports per second 2024 PC JS Can’t even calculate where your mouse to update a div style without using more resources than the previous hospital system.

What it means

A comparison meme contrasts a 1988 IBM AS/400 system running RPG and COBOL with a modern 2024 JavaScript PC. The old hospital server handles a huge population and millions of queries and reports per second, while the modern JavaScript setup supposedly struggles with a simple interface update, joking about software bloat and inefficient web development. It is sent as a sarcastic reaction to excessive resource usage in modern programming.
