depends on the compiler and language. golang seems to counter point your position quite handedly. having one of the fastest compile times and being highly concurrent.
if your application is so simple it doesn't use concurrency then 99% of the time you can completely remove the need for GC by preallocating slabs.
- native_samples 5y agoThe Go compiler is fast because it doesn't do very much, not because Go's GC is good for throughput oriented jobs. Go has repeatedly tied itself in knots over the years because they have a goal of not making the compiler slower, yet, the GC needs of the compiler are diametrically opposed to the needs of the HTTP servers Go is normally used for. https://go.dev/blog/ismmkeynote https://go.dev/blog/ismmkeynote "As you can see if you have ROC on and not a lot of sharing, things actually scale quite nicely. If you don’t have ROC on it wasn’t nearly as good ... At that point there was a lot of concern about our compiler and we could not slow down our compilers. Unfortunately the compilers were exactly the programs that ROC did not do well at. We were seeing 30, 40, 50% and more slowdowns and that was unacceptable. Go is proud of how fast its compiler is."
