I don't know if you are the author but he wrote: The only things that can easily go wrong now are: The compiler turns out to be evil and introduces an “optimization” that I don’t anticipate The V8 developers turn out to be evil and mod

Read the whole thing, but OK you didn't accuse anyone of being evil yet. But let me clarify that even if a later optimization breaks your constant time property that still wouldn't be evil.

by ErikCorry 12d ago
Nobody was evil you just tried to rely on a property that V8 never promised. Wasm doesn't promise it either but there's a much better chance you get what you want there.

Theoretically, you could still win today's if there were 8 steps. The ninth is the word you have to avoid. I haven't found a way to win today with 9 steps. https://gist.github.com/erikcorry/b21723a0ba49c044b03

I like the coins idea. I don't subscribe because I know I'll forget about it and it will turn into a recurring charge on my credit card. But I would buy $10 of coins, knowing the paywall just comes back if I don't buy more, a

$13/month is less than many of those sites cost individually, but I get them all for that price?

A lot of it went into V8 too.

I'm actually pretty surprised if the JVM uses malloc to allocate the heap. V8 uses mmap, never malloc.

Larry should be remembered for the development of "patch" more than perl. Without the concept of fuzzily applying patches to modified source files you can't have "git rebase" or "git merge".

The syntax problems are just surface. There are some real problems underneath: Poor performance of the single implementation. A single implementation. Leaky ref counted GC, but 'luckily' the syntax for references is so clunky that

Nice! Why malloc? Surely this is an on-heap object, not malloc allocated?

Yeah if you ever wondered why the fields in a lot of Posix APIs have names with prefixes like tm_sec and tm_usec it's because of this misfeature of early C.

You could always manually build the same thing as lambda with a class and you had the same problem.

The C++ GC is not for V8 code, it's for the users of the V8 API eg. Chrome (Blink). It's not being used for big internal systems like the compilers or GC. V8 has its first module in Rust and I'm sure more are coming, but it&#
