Honestly that kind of number dropping just makes me laugh.
What does productivity mean? Is it time / feature? How do you do a proper comparison?
I have been programming for 20 years, mainly in C, C++ and python. Very rarely have I felt slowed by the language itself. It's the architecture, the implementation tradeoffs, the understanding of the business, etc that take most of the implementation time.
- emj 6y agoI've been programming almost three decades, and I agree that the soft parts takes most of my time, almost all time honestly. But when I DO know exactly what todo then my colleagues are faster with a combo of Python and C, compared to just C. We can actually drop numbers for that. On the flip side you are probably right in the sense that this has more to do how we work than what language we use. I'm sure Rust would be fine, or if we had some C++ code base we were familiar with.
