No, my moral beliefs apply to me. Where on earth did you get the impression that they were universal truths when nothing I said even remotely suggested anything of the sort?

That quote is literally "I don't like the data, so I will pretend no data is better". There are no studies that contradict it, so claiming it is "some tests" is pretty dishonest. Even their flimsy reasoning makes

It doesn't exclude "idiomatic" versions, but the data is presented so as to make them useless. How do I compare "idiomatic" rust to "idiomatic" haskell? All you can get is "here's the fastest v

But in actual tests, potatoes are the highest satiety food by a wide margin. Frying them makes them less filling.

Your comment says absolutely nothing, and that appears to be the goal. What is the point of writing any code in any language? It is a benchmark, the point of it is to write the fastest code you can. You aren't obligated to write low

You should know it at least a tiny bit though, or else you lump perfectly "idiomatic" functions in with low level functions that aren't often used and pretend they're a problem. How is a indexing an array without a boun

And my point was that PHP does not get stigma because it attracts beginners. It gets valid criticism because it is horribly broken. That's why I showed you one of the many sites making those criticisms.
