I mean, probably what really matters is how slow things are compared to the network latency of a HTTP request.
In web-development arguing about Go-Go vs CGo-Go times is probably inconsequential.
- kragen 11mo agoLatency and throughput are not interchangeable, and it is entirely normal to do millions of subroutine calls per HTTP request, so even if latency is your only concern, a subroutine call operation with a latency ten thousand dollars faster than the HTTP request might still be too slow. Latency is not interchangeable with throughput because, if your single 8-core server needs to serve 200 HTTP requests per second, you need to spend less than 40 core-milliseconds per request on average, no matter whether the HTTP clients are 1ms away or 1000ms away.
- chrisweekly 11mo ago"ten thousand dollars faster"?
- kragen 11mo agoYes, at the abstraction level of money, many more things become interchangeable, but in order to have something worth spending money on, we have to distinguish between those things.
