Sustainability with Rust
- wmf 5y agoPrevious discussions from 2017: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15249289 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15249289 and 2020: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24642134 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24642134 However, I suspect that overall architecture has far more energy impact than programming languages. Things like optimizing your database schema could probably save far more energy than switching to Rust.

- jka 5y agoPerhaps distributed systems traces could be extended to attach energy usage alongside other metadata (like request duration). See also this HN post[1] re: an environmental impact reporting dashboard built by the BBC's R&D department. In that example, a system-level resource monitoring agent called 'scaphandre'[2] was used -- I think both are valid approaches (a tracing-based approach would allow discovery and optimization of energy-inefficient requests; a system-level approach provides good fleet-wide energy usage visibility).
