No they're not. Reference counting is a garbage collection algorithm. Its even described as such in most literature on garbage collection.

I want to like Scala more, but investing in it just feels like too big of a risk. Especially with Java getting better everyday or Kotlin providing all of the good parts of Scala without all the “weird” parts. Java now has pattern matching,

You mean with the Graal JIT instead of C2? AFAIK Graals truffle (espresso) implementation of Java is still far behind HotSpot.

> It sounds like you might be using global aurora with write forwarding Yes I believe this is what they chose. Honestly I’m going to leave it up to them and aws support. I have other fish to fry to get the functionality finished.

I’ve repeated myself because you don’t seem to be reading the words: masquerades, faux-pointers. I never claimed they were low level. I said they were pretending to be because pointers are completely unnecessary in a garbage collected langu
942.
by vips7L 2y ago
Like I said I think it tries to masquerade it’s low level by including them when they’re not really pointers. I see no reason why they didn’t go the route of other GC’d languages which don’t include faux-pointers.

I’ve added more details to a sibling comment. I’m not sure I can add much more. I’m not an OPS person, just team lead on the development side.

I’m going to preface this with I’m not an OPS person. But yes multi region. The main writer instance is us-east-1 it performs excellently when hitting this region. We have read replicas in us-west-2 and some in Europe/emea and Asia&#x2

IMO it tries to look low level by including pointers.

Java just needs better language constructs for checked exceptions to make them easier to deal with. It seems like the OpenJdk team is finally moving towards looking at making them better though.

Very informative. Thanks. > e.g. if ILC can see that only a single type implements an interface, all callsites referring to it are unconditionally devirtualized). Just like Java then.

Is that AOT or JIT?

7-20 seconds depending on location.

Why did I think you were leading the Apex product team?

by vips7L 2y ago
We’re currently struggling with switching from RDS to aurora. The replica times are absolutely bonkers long for the simplest of writes.

You realize that conversations can evolve right? I merely pointed out that your anecdotal evidence of you rewriting from Java -> Python could be shown in the reverse direction of people moving away from Python. You then claimed this was

I think you're selectively reading that to fit your narrative. The design choices of the Java language are the design choices of the Java Platform and that's exactly why they chose it: > CPU-efficient and scalable to multiple c

I particularly like the current stewards. They've done a great job and have been consistently putting Java and the JVMs best interest at the forefront.

I wasn’t refuting anything and in fact I’m onboard with these changes. I do not like Lombok and _in my opinion_ it’s for the laziest of devs. I just wanted to give you context that you are explaining how a library works to its author.

I’m not refuting the point. Just giving kaba0 context that they are explaining how a library works to its author.

Sure. Hypothetically, I have checked them. I have checked what I’m actually using, but the compiler is still executing things I didn’t know about. I only use CatUtils from org.catpache.commons. I’ve audited this single class that I use. I k
