Performance Musings

  An ecosystem's tooling makes a huge difference apart from the first order properties of a programming language. To mention here are: * (sampling) profilers that work with unmodified applications * stack traces * easy to use heap/core-dumps * a good debugger * reliable refactoring * code navigation It is something that makes me very reluctant to adopt "cool new tech".

    reliable refactoring This is such a base assumption of mine that I didn't even think of putting it in a list till you said it and it lead me to recall how fast I leave languages that don't have real refactoring tools.

      What refactoring tools are you using for which languages?
