pros: less typing less null pointer exceptions cons: performance (doesn't have to be bad but if you do things idiomatically will tend to be) tooling and other externalities (better that most niche languages but not as good as

performance is not good though, if you are trying to use it to leverage multiple cores.

yes you can. C# / F# interop is not zero hassle but it is low hassle. Most of the time it just works. There are a few features in each language that are not zero hassle, if a C# api uses a custom implicit conversion, calling it from F#

i wanted to compute perlin noise to make planet textures fast enough thay the user would not have to experience a loading screen when flying into a solar system. i could not make that happen in c# which the bulk of the game was in. c++ all

lack of value types makes many games a pain in the ass to do performantly. basically anyone thinking they might want to use Java could use Monogame instead and have a much better time.

That has happened to a lot of small time app developers.

just randomly curious here - why? hash time gets absurd?

It is one of those things where people say "Java can be faster than C/C++ because it can compact memory" and the C/C++ lady says "here, hold my beer"

I'm sure it would be extremely hard for me to mostly walk 100 miles at once.

look up the average pace of the finish, do math. note: people have brought up aid station time, which, yes if you spent like 30 minutes at each this would being mid pack finishers up into the 'mostly running range' but its still a

The range of aerobic power that people put out is pretty huge, its possible that at the extreme low end, having no glycogen to burn wouldn't be a limiter, but certainly at the moderately trained average joe level, it is still a limiter

it is pretty similar to the latest meme on climate change which is that imperfect models are not suitable for making policy decisions. so I guess we have perfect models for economics and social issues and geopolitical issues now.....so that

I think any C api should be target-able by all of those.

let me clarify: shipping along with your language, some kind of API that is standardized so that editors can easily add high quality IDE level features to support new languages is a great idea that this is currently being done via a server
