This isn’t really true. In JS, the JIT can optimize many routines to be much more CPU bound than “just pointer chasing” would have you believe. And of course in Python the bulk of your time should be spent in native code. Whether it actually is is a different question.
- gpderetta 2y agoIf a load is intrinsically pointer chasing (as it is the case for a lot of non-compute software), there isn't much an optimizer can do. That's true even for native code.
- dumbo-octopus 2y agoThat may be the case, what I’m contesting is this distinction made between JS/Python and other languages.
