Maybe I am missing something but all the optimizations in this article except the xor (2) and the scasd (4) can be done in high level programming languages. Number 3 (output of a sequence of integers as the sequence of differences between c

The point of the article is that the author doesn't like programming languages like C++ and Java and has therefore stuck with C programming. The question the author poses is if Go can replace C for him . In general, Go isn't meant to repla

How many unique features does python have? Unique features in programming languages are rare and often unwelcome (cf. perl's references).

The "universal" in unicode went from meaning "you can represent any modern language in it" to "you can translate any encoding in it without loss of information AND any character you could possibily want to have in a font will have it's code

Lisp had a several-decade head start in many useful programming language features that are now commonplace (and some that aren't yet so commonplace).

All this talk about minor changes that are easily dealt with through configuration feels more and more like a form of bikeshedding to me.
