one could argue, that programming languages that are more close to the mind are more efficient. At least when looking at 2nd to n-th order efficiency effects, not just pure runtime performance.
- beepbooptheory 5y agoYeah, maybe taken in isolation they are more efficient, but if your recompiling every minute in development, that's probably gonna add up.
- Jtsummers 5y agoThen don't recompile every minute? Or use a language that supports incremental compilation down to even the function level.
