Honestly I may have no good reason except maybe speed. I just read that Go is not best for low-level optimizations, and memory size.

Damn.. that Warp lib looks powerful. Although from 2012, that benchmark against Nginx is unbelievable. > Go, Rust, D, etc. are all just C with fancy features Come on.. Their fanciness is very helpful. Doing web in C is tedious, insecure.

Thank you. Indeed it ranks top. Followed by.. a Java framework (es4x) ? The D one (vibed) doesn't shine much. Alas. Maybe you're right and I should take the dive with Rust.

Nice if you can get rid of dependencies and threads.

Thank you, - I don't exclude D but it means some untrivial learning in spite of its semblance to C. I don't have infinite time to learn all promising C++ replacements. - Haskell.. really ? Plus it's not fast at all it seems.

Exactly what I want to achieve. Compiled and evented. D permits that. I guess you are comfortable with C++ but I would not even try..

By 'radically' I mean the fastest possible - short of writing a single blob in C integrating an http server. Since I want to keep it modular, the db part with sqlite is already optimal. Now I need the app on par : statically typed

It's more of an inclination for speed than a problem. I have no problem with my current stack. C# and .NET are VM/bytecode I think and like 1/4th the speed of C.

Yes it is. - Per the guide-lines : "Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports " - Per usage

Why would you submit this ? That is just a random piece of news. This is so tiring.

If this heuristic is constantly necessary then there is nothing to remember.

You're right. And it's not really rewarding to be down-voted when you and me, and others point this out. There is a slow but steady trend towards plain news on HN.

I agree. Discussions here are often very good. But how will you - or moderators - guess that a story will generate such quality ? Problem is, the disappearing of an Interpol chief IS striking news. So it gets upvotes and stays on the front.

Why the down-votes ? I kindly meant that it's good to have a somewhat specialized site towards intellectual curiosity. It takes more time to visually filter submissions if they are interspersed with world news in general.

Sorry to be that guy but.. sigh.. this is no hacker news, it's just news. Please don't turn this beloved site into a news aggregator. From the guidelines : "Off-Topic: Most stories about politics [...]"

Any good examples of this? Not really I must admit. It's more that when the tide turns, people ask techies why and what to do. In FB case they'll ask you what is so bad about it and you'll come up with a solid answer.

Exactly. But Google+ was a side-game for Google.. If FB turns to the new G+ we might soon profit from discount hardware!

This will deeply count in facebook's demise I think. Tech people act as prescribers to the rest. When they use something new, it then propagates to the population. Abandoning is the same. Now Elon Musk is mystically revered by tech peo

I tried uMatrix several times and quit. It's crazy heavy. It takes forever to whitelist parts of a page until functional. Scripts then XHR then more cascaded scripts then frames..

Little Snitch is for MacOS. As a linux user I desperately looked for an equivalent and found none. Douane was suggested. It's no good. What a sorry state of affair. We need a simple app-level filtering solution.

That is what I suspect but still.. Respect in the eye of peers is a human need. If I met a developper and learned he works for FB, it would be visible on my face that I feel somewhat put-off.

I wonder how Facebook devs feel when they read such posts. Do they feel rejected ? shameful ? Does their salary really outweigh this collective disapproval of their peers ?

Please avoid empty 'comments' like this. These will be the slow death of HNews quality.
