It still is, especially when it comes to vectorization.
- nly 10y agoAnd in other areas, but that's largely because C isn't expressive enough, not because we lack the engineering know-how to compile fast vectorisation code.
- ori_b 10y agoI am not aware of a general purpose language that is expressive enough to auto vectorize generic code without basically writing in vector intrinsics.
