Yeah I would have thought they should have bought Datadog stock instead... but actually DDOG is down. I'd make a poor trader.

I agree that there are no objective measure. I guess it's just different expectations. I would not say it's obvious what the machine is doing in the Go example though. For example it wasn't clear to me that append() mostly do

It's definitely less clear though, in that it involves an if statement with an assignment, three temporary variable declarations, etc. Also, type inference won't detect the type of the output automatically from the transform funct

by xmcqdpt2 3y ago
Your example is very simple though. What's the go equivalent to x.map(fn).filter(predicate) ie returning a new collection of transformed items which is filtered by some predicate? Now we are talking more like 5-6 lines of Go.

It would be hard to trigger it in Java. All references are pass-by-value, so you would have to do something like creating an array, passing that array and then replacing an element in it in on every loop iteration. Unless I got something wr

AFAIK the specific patterning and asymmetry of surrounding cells is what convinced the cells to form organs. The inhibition stops random cells in media from forming a big randomly configured organ, ie a tumor. Here is a paper about it, htt

It is absolutely necessary nowadays, yes. Our applications are often more complex than what people did in Java 1.5, Cobol, or C, and definitely need to be developed at a faster pace.

Agree. Furthermore if you are going to split it, you want to make sure no one boxes a raw pizza because they added a bad switch statement or something, as that would be clearly bad. So if you want a split version than you should use types t

Sure, it's less testable BUT in the specific case at hand it's all mutations that need to be performed in a specific sequence. IMO if you are taking an object through a specific set of states, you either split that and use types t

I'm in a bank tech division and the training is mostly just "here is what antitrust looks like, contact legal and compliance if you ever feel like this apply to you." My guess is that if you contact them, they'll tell yo

Good point, I should probably check.

Yep the Hotspot JIT will absolutely allocate on the stack and reuse memory allocations inside loops. It also has escape analysis and it will detect you don't need the array of strings after the iteration. In that case it usually just a

I've written similar code before using absolutely bog standard idiomatic OOP Java. For a single threaded program I'd expect at least 1GB/s before any optimization. Most of the allocations in the loop that aren't the fina

Node.js has a decent JIT, or so I've heard. I have experience with the HotSpot JVM. For the JVM this code would absolutely stop allocating on the heap past 10k iterations of the loop. "Split a string then grab the parts in a hot l

By the way the very same code in Java would absolutely rip through the files with no extra allocations of arrays once the JIT gets seriously involved. A big loop with temporary arrays in it that are used to populate the fields of a record e

It's more like C or C++. Old, yes, but actively developed by a standards committee. In terms of features, it's definitely more modern than C, with generics, move semantics for pointers etc.

The C equivalent for Fortran stack-allocated arrays is Variable Length Arrays (VLA) which are (afaik) a GNU extension which is usually considered bad. They are awesome in Fortran because it means that I can (for example) write a function th

Fortran is very simple though, more like Go or Java than Haskell. A C developer could pick it up in a week or so just reading the ISO spec, someone else might take like three weeks? It's basically C with nicer syntax, and some QoL feat
