Sure, they are not fast response gaming screens, but I am specifically calling out reading all forms of text (web/email/documents/coding) as a main use case. OLED would be great if we could finally get 27” 5K. Currently all t

I’d argue that AI driven super resolution like DLSS should be more than sufficient to upscale 4k to 8k with minimal performance loss and acceptable image quality even for gaming.

The comments regarding matte vs glossy and text sharpness resonates with me. It’s really hard to use any non-Apple screens since their color is completely washed out and lifeless and text lacks crispness on all screens at a range of price p

Thanks for sharing, we ended up designing something very similar in Scala Native [1]. The use case we had was to explore all possible code paths was to reduce the overhead of virtual call dispatch (since very often virtual calls have very f

Canon 6D was one of the few DSLRs that had built-in GPS support, but the feature wasn’t that successful since most people preferred to keep it off to save battery life.

You might want to check out Scala Native. It’s conceptually similar to Rust without borrow checking. The only issue is that it’s way less mature and community is much smaller.

0.3 has our own variation of Immix algorithm [1] [2]. On current development snapshots we've also made it parallel and partially concurrent which is expected to bring major speedups over previous single-thread implementation on applica

> Currently Scala.Native still performs poorly than Scala JVM. This is factually incorrect [1]. 0.4.0 series is shipping with brand new optimizer (as of M1) and soon a parallel garbage collector (M3). Both contribute to major performance

Immix [1] does bump allocation without the space overhead of the copying young generation. It's been working really well for us in Scala Native. [1] https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1375586

Scala is a relatively simple language in the end of the compiler pipeline. We just take lowered ASTs and emit our SSA representation from there because it’s easy it to implement it this way. You can totally do something similar from the byt

JVM startup is really painful for short to medium time running apps, this is the niche we’re trying to address.

You can think of Scala Native as Go on steroids. We don’t try to compete with Rust at all.

There is roughly 1-2s (after sbt warm-up) penalty to perform compilation to native on iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) with 4 GHz Intel Core i7. The linker is highly parallel so you can throw more hardware at it as your project grows bi

That's correct. We statically link all of the transitive Scala dependencies.

Please drop by our gitter chatroom [1] and we'll try to debug the issue together. It's likely some sort of environment misconfiguration. [1] https://gitter.im/scala-native/scala-native
