- monkeyelite 1y agoYes. And why is that?
- Aurornis 1y agoInterpreted languages and garbage collection. Bounds checking barely registers as a factor.
- monkeyelite 1y agoYou can write Java that uses arrays that are allocated once - will it have loops as fast as C? Why not? And furthermore I don’t suspect you’re proposing we should be using C + bounds checking (that’s already a Gcc flag?). But rather bounds checking is one of many safety features. The whole pitch of Java is exactly what OP said - let’s just pay 10-30% cost to get these nice portability and memory benefits over C++, and it didn’t work that way especially as memory speeds have diverged from CPU.
