I tried to look into it with a profiler but didn't have much luck figuring out what exactly is wrong. Since the same runtime runs just fine on ESP32-S3, the problem is, most likely, with the window wrapper that we use:

I tried several alternatives, SDL2 was much worse.

The Postcard Wire Format - The Postcard Wire Specification
Great work! IDK why would you do that but "just for fun" is often a good enough answer to everything :)
If you want to parse _meta, this is the format spec:

You can now write games for Firefly Zero in #C or #Cpp!
C is a language with a huge #gamedev ecosystem. It has lots of famous retro games (like DOOM), emulators for retro game consoles, and interpretes for languages like Lua. And all of that now can be ported to Firefly Zero! Surprise us.

Now, bootstrapping your first app in any language supported by Firefly Zero is just one command:
$ firefly_cli new --lang=rust hello-world

Oh, and we're now working on SDKs for a few more languages. The first one will be announced very-very soon. Stay tuned ;)
