I’ve always loved Garbage-Collected languages. Using twice the RAM and 1/3 of CPU to manage memory for us makes me feel like a posh lord who will never touch the soil, at huge expense. Every day I appreciate this luxury.
Think about it: At 128k RAM and small COU, you can’t even afford separation of concerns into application layers, and thus can’t delegate work to independent teams, because simply a method calling another one is a performance hit. Multitier architecture is already a posh, modern luxury.
Then came lambdas and Java streams, twice as slow as for-each loops, but look nicer, albeit with incomprehensible stacktraces. Luxury all around!
Then came Electron.
Looking forward to Docker-Driven Programming, where each function is a Docker Compose and gets rebuilt and rethrown at each exception.
