That is a nice project -- classifying it based on reliability: human-made, sources, etc. + score. Maybe a job for an AI to do? :D

That is exactly the reason why we have lonters, errors and limitations when programming. Bc the "give a check by hand" or the "unbound discipline" never works. The more things you need to be aware of at the same time, th

Yes, I meant the concepts needed for low level language and tweaking when high performance is of concern.

I agree. But this is not what you see on the headlines and what money-incentivized stakeholders are saying.

Then why not stop researching and doing the definitve model that will solve every problem? Why some people are not doing it? Bc they are aware of the marketing and limitations. If they did believe it, then they would switch area of research

I am not sure of the real life difference of this. You can tweak C++ a lot, you can make caches, etc your own with memoization and others. True that you would need to build it by hand and, at that time, maybe it is better to just pick somet

Not a dichotomy actually. Highly depends on the task.

I also like d a lot even if I did not use it that much (toolchain and getting things done problems mostly, besides not great platform support). The metaprogramming of D is really impressive. In fact I considered using Vibe.d for some backen

by germandiago 2mo ago
Little by little, Rust, like D, acknowledges that C++ flexibility regarding object construction, copy and move, even if too much as a default, is sometimes needed :) I saw in D years ago how they also checked into this flexibility after get

southeast asia for now, but will move on at some point. Not sure how you can reach me without exposing too much. Just ask away here if you need to or let me know how I can reach you.

Well, yes. True that for long-running apps JVM seems to be tuned. I meant the kind of "perf-to-the-instruction" thst native can generate vs other considerations.
82.
by germandiago 2mo ago
It depends on how you look at it. C++ is very different since it is native. Java is a VM. This affects lots of decisions in weird ways. But in essence both commit to backwards stability at the end. C++ goes for performance, JVM for a more f

Yes. Having a strong spec helps also in general. I think that, with all things on the table, backwards compatibility, a spec and, where things are broken things are signaled should be the standard for enterprise grade non-toy apps. Of cours

What is terability in this context? Not a Java expert but 20 years coding and did not hear of this.

Rhis is the correct way to do it in enterprise environments. C++ gets a lotof rage for doing the same thing. The last thing you want in an enterprise environment is that your working code breaks and you have to commit more time to things th

Reminds me of one of C++'s talks from Andrei Alexandrescu: "std::allocator is to allocation what std::vector is to vexation". There was another transparency inside: "std::allocator is to allocation what alligator is to a

At some point I thought there was no way back compared to C#. But nowadays I see the language improved a lot, avoided async/await and added virtual threads, added records, now Valhalla, decent lambdas and tons of quality of life improv

My favorite feature from Java is the same as my favorite feature from C++: pick something 10 years later or more, and it works nearly flawlessly. Also, now on the Java side: I think they made a great job avoiding async/await and using
