No. I will continue my crusade against blanket statements about performance.
- pmarreck 8mo agoGee, good thing I didn't make a blanket statement and qualified it by saying "often", which is true, my contrarian dude. https://tigerbeetle.com https://tigerbeetle.com wouldn't have chosen it unless they found it faster than C- and there's a significant quantity of money riding on that decision, so it likely wasn't done lightly at all. The rest, you can google yourself, but in short, sorry to tell you that it is sometimes faster. Often, sometimes, some portion of the time.
- bjourne 8mo agoNo. It is a blanket statement that is never true. A programming language has no inherent speed. Your appeal to authority argument is rejected.
- lionkor 8mo agoThat's what I was getting at in my response. Once you add the qualifiers that were originally implied, its obvious that this is not an objective discussion to be had.
