the world of computing isn't just web servers. besides, the vast majority of language implementations already favor throughput over latency when it comes to GC.

the world of computing isn't just web servers. besides, the vast majority of language implementations already favor throughput over latency when it comes to GC. when latency is a requirement for your project you have no choice but fall back on languages like C. it would be nice to have a viable alternative with managed memory.
- LeanderK 10y agoyeah, but when i hear go i think of web servers ;)
- pjmlp 10y agoThere is still hope for a Modula-3 replacement with the ongoing work on Swift, .NET Native, D, Nim. Even if it still isn't quite here today.
- bogomipz 10y agoI know you are being facetious but is there actually a connection between Modula-3 and Swift, .NET Native, D, Nim?
- pjmlp 10y agoJust a set of common features. Memory safe system programming languages[0] with a GC by default, value types which can be allocated on global data/stack/registers, generic programming, ability to have more control over resource management than just finalizers, allocate memory outside GC control when performance requires it. [0] .NET Native is not yet there, but is incrementally getting a few of the System C# features
