You can try. Let me know how that works out for you, especially when you need someone to fix a small niggling but uninteresting bug.

It's worth noting, as I'm sure you already noticed, that they are supporting WASM in addition to JS. So maybe the right answer for "your simple, secure bytecode JS interpreter is too slow" really is "Just precompile

Acknowledging that's the system under which something has happened does not imply, let alone assure, personal support for that system overall. The real world doesn't bow silently in deference to our hopes and dreams.

If you need new code you write today to run on 20 year old systems, don't use the newer features. Perl 5.36 is backwards compatible to code written for Perl 5.6 after all. If you need 20 year old code to run on new machines, the same t

I think it's a rather pragmatic decision given corporate capitalism is the economic model under which most processor design and trade happens, at least toward the higher end. The good news is since the main ISA and several open extensi

I have a document on my bookshelf a few feet from here comparing the 386 to the 486 for space mission purposes. Its core conclusion was that the 486 on-die cache was not spaceworthy and that with it disabled integer math was not really fast

There are predictable garbage collectors, though. Not every GC is a stop-the-world type. A good reference-counting system with the ability to weak-reference a variable can be pretty predictable and avoid loops as just one example.

An open ISA is a good start. It means short of any closed-source extensions the code can move to another chip vendor. With smart modularization of the code, even parts using closed-source extensions could be potentially retargeted faster th

It wouldn't really be an ORM at that point, but there's definitely a point to be made that an ORM is the wrong level of abstraction altogether when dealing with data-heavy applications. I actually really hate seeing SQL embedded i

When can we just have three-part versions? USB 4.0.1 anyone? Right now, they're making a joke of the "Universal" in "Universal Serial Bus", unless their point is all of it can fall back to 12 Mbps.

> ORM is not such a great abstraction on top of SQL. I agree wholeheartedly with that. I'm not sure that's the direction an ORM should be targeting the abstraction in the first place. It seems more productive to abstract the co

Using a cache (short of the language tools doing automatic memoization, or memoization hints on a function or procedure maybe) before making the code correct but slow is one of the greatest hallmarks of premature optimization. Remember Knut

Saying things like "hello" or "good morning" to colleagues the first time you talk to them in a day is in many places a social convention. If you find social conventions silly, they aren't necessarily any less real.
