Anyways, consider how higher memory usage can affect the systems performance dramatically once the system needs to start swapping memory to disk signficantly
- hnlmorg 5mo agoIf you cannot write a simple Java agent without consuming so much RAM that your system is swapping then that really says more about the developer than anything. Java is used in plenty of embedded systems and other memory constrained environments. Yes, it’s not going to perform well compared with Rust, but that doesn’t mean it’s an Electron-equivalent bloated clusterfuck of an ecosystem that’s going to eat all your system resources.
- tcfhgj 5mo ago> so much 1) the agent is probably not the only thing running on the system, so more is just worse generally 2) I am fine if a developer needs Rust or similar to write a resource efficient app. I wonder what the developer could achieve when he put the optimization effort into the Rust app instead.
- hnlmorg 5mo agoMy point is that Java isn’t going to be the application that sends your machine into swap hell. People are so narrow minded about programming on this forum. They talk as if only Rust fills the void between unsafe C and node.js behemoths. But the reality is there are a plethora of other good languages out there too.
- mapcars 5mo agoI can't put Java into good languages category at least for how it allows null to be everywhere.
