You pay for what you use. If you bring in a litany of libraries to connect to some endpoint in every conceivable IPC mechanism then sure, it will take some time (but let’s not forget that it would also take considerable time with native machine code). But besides very very frequently run CLI tools like ls, the problem is entirely overblown. Come on, quick-launching GUIs? I hardly even remember that being a thing.
- pohl 4y agoYou pay for what you use. Exciting, if true. So, for example, could I choose to not use garbage collection or class loading or JIT compilation and avoid paying their costs?
- kaba0 4y agoI was quite obviously talking about loading many classes. But.. yeah, you can disable the GC and also the JIT compiler, for whatever reason.
