Moore's law is dead, that means developers who will not waste CPU cycles will be in demand for the next generation of compute intensive development. Big Data needs big compute so obviously these kinds of articles are not only pertinent but is the way ahead.
I would not be surprised if we do rewrites of all the past 20 year code in to Rust or Go or any other performant language.
Lets agree on this, you are smart and the author is right.
I am sorry people who are complaining are not seeing where the ball is going.
- devjab 3y agoI’m not sure why you’re being downvoted, even if you’re aren’t correct about the law we’re seeing rising costs of cloud computing. We’ve cut our Azure cloud spending almost in half by being more efficient and rewriting core computing elements in performant languages. We’ve gone with C++ because that’s also what we use for our embedded solar plant programming but we did make a few proof of concepts using Rust and liked what we learned. I think we’ll eventually begin to move more or our C/C++ into Rust as Rust matures, but we’re also not in a rush to do so. But to get back to what you’re talking about here, we recently spoke with Lunar about their transition from a Node backend to a Java backend and then finally to a Go backend and how they can’t imagine building anything without Go going forward. Very interesting considering that the JVM is quite performant itself. I’m not sure we’re going to follow them down the Go rabbit hole, I think we’ll remain on a Node backend for non-performant stuff since it lets us use one language for most things. But I do think your predictions are right.
