It is not a question of C++ being better than JavaScript or vice-versa in some esoteric sense.
Compiling code from C++ to WASM is counter-productive if the native JavaScript is fine. It's just that native languages seem to perform quite a bit better in the domains of graph construction, graph optimization, and even basic string manipulation.
- tomnipotent 8y ago> Compiling code from C++ to WASM is counter-productive When did WASM come into the picture? I use Parcel because my time is valuable and I don't want to master the arcane arts of modern JS build toolchains but I still NEED to benefit from them if I'm to run a successful business and make sure my investors get their money back and a language I can deliver plain text over HTTP/S that runs performantly across billions of devices that I can modify on the fly is beyond valuable. > native languages C++ isn't going to help me deliver my product to my customers in any measurable way that influences the outcome of our relationship. JavaScript, frankly, does - the less time my organization spends writing code, the less we have to charge for things to make up for that margin impact.
- cjhanks 8y agoWhat do you want me to say? Maybe you have reading comprehension issues?
- tomnipotent 8y agoYou brought up C++ & WASM in a post where it made absolutely NO contextual sense so you could shit on someones work and I'm the one with comprehension issues? Grow up.
