Real-time and general purpose GCs does not sound like a good idea, except for very specialized GCs...
- tinus_hn 6y agoNor real-time and Javascript in a web app
- klodolph 6y agoYou might be forgetting that multimedia apps are often soft real-time.
- klodolph 6y agoTalking about soft real-time here… do you think multimedia apps should be native-only? That it’s a bad idea to put multimedia apps on the web?
- jfkebwjsbx 6y agoThe web does not imply a GC. Most multimedia in the web is hardware accelerated, SIMD accelerated via plugins or uses Wasm. Any other way would be a huge waste on resources or simply impossible to do for high resolutions.
- a1369209993 6y ago> That it’s a bad idea to put multimedia apps on the web? Yes? Obviously? The only reason Flash ever worked for anything useful (-ish depending on your opinion of video games) was that it was in practice isolated from the rest of the web browser. Javascript... isn't.
