Thanks for the insightful reply. :)

> so I sometimes transliterate Go code to Java (the resulting code is always of similar length, perhaps with a slight advantage to Java, now with Java 8's streams and such). How does performance compare?
877.
by azth 13y ago
Yep. The same applies with Scala too (with `val` vs `var` declarations). I still don't like the separation of type declarations with the actual implementation; they should be the same, which is what Rust and even C++ got right.

Java's `final` while useful for primitives, it is not really that useful for reference types, which constitute the majority of types. C++'s `const` is a much better solution. Better yet, both Rust and D have superior immutability

But it's not just about indexes or certain containers. Sure, C++ makes things unwieldy, but the solution is not to drop operator overloading in its entirety. Rust wants to take on C++ head to head. For graphics programming and certain

It doesn't sound like you are a systems programmer. That, and several of the points you mention lack substance. > - Explicit allocations (stack vs heap) and ownership management. This is a great feature. If you're writing anoth

Interesting. Where do you work if I may ask?

> Start-up culture is increasingly bullshit and toxic Does that apply mainly to SV, or have you had/seen similar experiences elsewhere?

> is that top picture of a hellish working environment typical? I have a panic attack just looking at it. It's all about the "culture" man, you need to get with the times.

Does "small-company stock options" apply only to pre-IPO startups? If not, what else does the term cover?

Don't argue with him/her, the parent poster is clearly acting immature.

Points taken. In my favor; however, English is not my native language :) Though I do definitely make lots of mistakes in my native one.

Thanks for the explanation. I am aware of that; however, the sentence I quoted does not make sense grammatically; "algorithmic complexity" is not an adjective.

Whoops, deleted my previous comment since I quickly found out the answer after I submitted the question :) The compiler already knows the location of the function, and should be able to call it directly, if not inline it. Thanks for your an

I suppose you simply wrap the functionality in a class with a destructor? That's what I thought at first too; however, the author mentions in the comments section on that page something about this interacting in a hard fashion with C+
