As someone that followed this back then via whatever articles would come up in the press, it is a very interesting deep dive, and yet another proof how Apple never got big enterprise customers, nowadays servers and workstations are out of A

I was thinking this would be doing a diff between clang, GCC and MVSC implementations of the C++ STL library.

Regardless of all the twitter and Github drama, it was fast enough for me, and I don't get what is the interest running HLSL shaders, pets extensions or rainbow colours on the terminal.

I would still use xterm, don't really get the craze out optimising tty emulators. Now graphical nicely powered REPL environments is another matter.

Because their KPIs are all about making a impact.

It sure does, hence why there was this whole drama with a new render engine for Flutter.

Nope, XP was the introduction of Windows NT linage into mainstream computing, ME was basically 98 with a few goodies to keep selling newer 9x versions in the meantime.

Yes, they go with #2 because they are really p***. As anecdote of one, I was once part of a project to port a .NET Framework to Java, because the customer was really annoyed with the rewrite, as the application relied heavily on the .NET Fe

Same could be said for all that talk about having Claude do their work.

Stuff like this are already a commercial product, it isn't only Zig to Rust rewrites going around. https://www.pega.com/insights/resources/break-free-legacy-ma... https://www.ibm.com/products&

Only when doing stack allocations or reference counting, any other heap management strategy and RAII can't help as well. For example, combining RAII with lock free data structures, which usually ends up in techniques like hazardous poi

It only works for stack allocations or when using reference counting, which isn't the ultimate performance of GC algorithms.

Devs doing graphics and game development care so much, that there are companies like Live++ selling hot reloading tools for C++. Like, devs actually pay for having hot reloading.

Which is why devs on other world regions will chose something else, more ammendanble to their pockets to stay productive.

The experiences still fails short of XCode or Playground, hence why Slint has its own scripting language.

I am aware, still far away from what something like C++ Builder was already offering in the 1990's, let alone other more modern alternatives.

SwiftUI has an incremental compiler with interactive workflows.

A non starter for anything related to graphics or UI development, which is kind of most Rust stuff are CLIs or TUIs, like being back on curses heyday, Turbo Vision and Clipper.

Google Cloud platform is based on the internal proprietary version of Kubernetes, Borg.

Actually all modern JVM implementations, and Android, do exactly that, JIT caches that survive across executions. On Android it is additionally used to guide AOT compilation when the device is idle or charging. TIMI is compiled to native co

Sure, whatever.

Sure. :)

Which kind of shows the outcome of devs being pushed to use the wrong tool for the job. Alone the code generation machinery that Kubernetes used to have for working around lack of generics.

by pjmlp 3mo ago
Fast compilers with generics wasn't rocket science. Of course the language is for dumb people, Rob Pike even said it officially, poor souls that apparently cannot master better tools, even though they are able to work around Google&#x2

For whom? There are already plenty of POSIX options, and with business friendly licenses.

Really wearing the team's t-shirt there, Go was barely proven on the language adoption battlefield when Go heads preverted the direction Docker and Kubernetes were going, it wasn't even 1.0. Lots of languages are full of dead proj

The fallacy of "simple" languages is not understanding the history of programming languages, why and how they grow with the community, assuming they get any adoption at all. No one among the folks that created Scheme or C, would a

So basically no.

by pjmlp 3mo ago
Go is basically a mix between Oberon-2 and Limbo, which we all know where they landed on the adoption curve. Without the adoption success of Docker and Kubernetes adding wind to Go's sails, Go would have landed on the island. They were
