I’m saying C# as a whole, not C# on one example. But, I have already agreed that C#’s performance has become pretty impressive. I also still believe that idiomatic Rust is going to be faster than idiomatic C#, even if C# now supports really advanced (and non-idiomatic) patterns that let you rewrite chunks of code to be much faster when needed.
It would be interesting to see the box plot updated to include the naot results — I had assumed that it was already.
- igouy 2y agoThe benchmarks game's half-dozen tiny tiny examples have nothing to say about "C# as a whole".
- coder543 2y agoThey have more to say than a single cherry picked benchmark from the half dozen. I had asked the other person for additional benchmarks that supported their cause. They refused to point at a single shred of evidence. I agree the Benchmarks Game isn’t definitive. But it is substantially more useful than people making completely unsupported claims. I find most discussions of programming language performance to be pointless, but some discussions are even more pointless than others.
- igouy 2y agoI curate the benchmarks game, so to me it's very much an initial step, a starting point. It's a pity that those next steps always seem like too much effort.
