So let ne be naive, is performance important? Would a user matter?
In my opinion what matters is how much energy is consumed when executed on a smartphone or IoT device. Because there the main question is, when do I have to recharge the next time. For IoT applications this is highly critical. In this regard fast is not automatically energy efficient, if you consider e.g. big.LITTLE cpu architectures...
- imiric 6y agoI'd argue that what matters is human time. If writing this in JS took an hour to deliver acceptable performance, and writing it in Rust took 6 hours of reading documentation and googling to produce a similar or faster by a few milliseconds result, then JS is the clear winner here.
