I don't know, but personally I've spent orders of magnitude more time debugging memory leaks in languages without GC than the time I've wasted waiting for shitty apps to load.
Software bloat is a real thing, I agree, but it's a fact of life and in my opinion not a hill worth dying on. People just don't care.
If you want proof of this, try to find a widely used Jira alternative which doesn't suck and doesn't need a terabyte cluster to run. There isn't one because most people just don't care about it, they care about the bottom line.
- rbanffy 2y agoNot only that - when your ticket system becomes a Jira because of all the feature creep required, it’ll perform like a Jira. Perhaps a little better if you can implement more in less crazy ways (it seems to keep a lot of logic into a relational database, which is a big no-no for the long term evolution of your system).
- sgarland 2y ago> People just don’t care. Devs don’t care, because they aren’t being forced to care, and they have loaded M3 MBPs, so they don’t notice a difference. I firmly believe that we’ll see more of a swing back to self-hosting in some form or another, be it colo or just more reliance on VPS, and when we do, suddenly performance will matter. Turns out when you can’t just magically get 20 more cores on a whim, you might care.
