I know you said you were completely local on your project but a mention for something I learned, in case it exists: any references to dlls in your project that point to a network location actually slowed things down way more than imagined. So, if you have some reusable libraries that are maybe out on a network share, that could help (to move locally).

A few days ago they proposed removing messageboxes from javascript[^]. But a few minutes ago I got this popup[^] in Gmail.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yup. Especially since it was a false positive.

And I really thought that the extensive use of Klingon Battlecruisers[^] (plus the attempts to make them even more 'interesting', like in the linked article) are slowly restricted to VB 6 traditionalists zealots.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Jeeze, that is really Awful!
Avoiding mention that the "dialog" is actually a "window", or the fact that people don't just blindly dismiss message boxes, I don't think I could name one person who would be happy to be "treated" to such an "improvement".
Has he taken on a major role in ms development, since then? I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.

I have found even better ideas, like having to answer three multiple choice questions about the message correctly to get the message box closed.
Message boxes are ok, but only if they have something really important to bring to the user's attention. Everything else is just annoying and should be shot down like the Klingon battlecruiser, right when it decloaks and before it can raise its shields. The simplest way to avoid the entire problem is to earn the user's trust that any interruption will be important.

Just because they are suggesting we move away from a technology does not mean they have to have done it everywhere first, does it?

The rams always get thrown out for starting fights; they keep telling patrons to butt out.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Of course they do; haven't you seen all the movie-goers who stand in line chewing their cud?

No, they stopped going after too many udder disasters.
«When I consider my brief span of life, swallowed up in an eternity before and after, the little space I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, now rather than then.» Blaise Pascal

Nope, the date is 04/4, this is the US.

No, this is Canada.
And may I remind all those who persist in using middle-endian date formats that the only countries that use this format are American Samoa, Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, Marshall Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, United States and their Minor Outlying Islands and the United States Virgin Islands.
