Is Fil-C free of runtime overhead?
- f_devd 10mo agoNo, it's gc-like. Up to 4x slowdown iirc
- westurner 10mo agoTo better port C to Rust: 3C (Checked C), c2rust, Crown ownership analysis, RustMap, c2saferrust (LLM), Laertes
- testdelacc1 10mo agoThe run time overhead is 2-4x.
- bfrog 10mo agoIsn't this putting it in the Java territory?
- testdelacc1 10mo agoYeah, pretty much. If someone is ok with a 3-4x slower program with higher memory consumption, that’s great if it saves you development time. But I can’t see someone starting a new project in Fil-C when more performant and ergonomic options exist - Java, C#, Go, Swift, Rust. Even Javascript.
