it's actually a lot worse than it sounds even. The 5070 is like a 4090 is when the 5070 has multi frame generation on and the 4090 doesn't. So it's not even comparable levels of DLSS, the 5070 is hallucinating 2x+ more frames

You kinda said it yourself already - ctags is fast because it's producing almost nothing of value. Being fast at doing nothing isn't impressive. Try doing the same with C++ and more indexing options enabled, such as with something

There's approximately a 0% chance of Zig seeing non-trivial adoption anywhere other than maybe the embedded world. It otherwise solves basically nobodies problems in the real world and is just a love letter to C. It's cute, kinda,

Can you provide an example of that on godbolt or similar? In what scenarios do exceptions introduce the claimed cost? The only thing I could see is just the density of code could mean more page spills and less efficient cache line usage for

What optimizations are disabled? I don't see any reason any of them would be, nor is there any bookkeeping. The stack itself is the bookkeeping which is required regardless. The exception-specific stuff is stored elsewhere, which is wh

Look at the error rates they are testing. A 0.1% exception rate, which is certainly something that'd be "rare", starts to happen an awful lot when you have a program that's using 128 cores, and 5th generation Epyc can pu

You can't really "optimize" that every function call now has a branch after it to check for an error. That's a design choice Zig made at the cost of performance, which is not inherently bad. After all, lots of languages

Not necessarily. If that "only move" is obvious, then it's not really risky. Like if a queen trade is offered and the opponent accepts, then typically the "only move" that doesn't massively lose is to capture b
