I'm not talking about interruptions on allocations, but deallocations. You never know when GC fires - starts harvesting for memory locations that need to be freed and frees them.

> it is just that it is hard to predict how much time they will take for a call. The problem is not how much but when - you never know when GC fires and interrupts your running code. That is a nondeterminism.

If only D had Rust like reference counted embedded smart pointers... [for a deterministic memory management]. I think that would be much easy to add than C++esque `smart pointers as library`.

Just followed that thread again, and I think we're on the same side :) I mean, when I say that I prefer deterministic memory management, that includes an automatic reference counting - smart pointers - which are now part of C++11. On that t

And 'papa' is a synonym of grandfather in eastern Georgia (e.g. Kakheti). Regarding the first "word" (a nonsense actually) - it is usually "Aghu". Even before a baby starts talking anything, parents encourage them - "Say aghuu, aghuu" :)

I think we already had some conversation about this topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5503066 HN is small ;)

Yes, same goes for CPython. I just wanted to point out on your previous comment - it is not surprise that only choosing some particular language doesn't mean a guaranteed performance.

No language with a nondeterministic memory management will ever be able to be an alternative of C++.

And exceptions, or any other way to better handle error conditions, rather than that "if hell".

Regarding your JRuby vs CRuby comparison - of course, you can as well write slow code in asm vs fast code in QBasic.

To be honest, it was more "C with classes" style of C++.

Anyone with a Masters degree (working as a researcher)?

Exactly. The first reason to reply to this kind of request would be to engage with the uneducated client, and make sure that she will pay for that 90%.

It looks like a recruiter, but the other way around :)

Can anyone recommend some good materials (books/articles/tutorials) about a new language implementation for Erlang VM?

This is on of the mind opening problems. The whole dynamic programming is mind opening, I'd say.

Depends on what patent applications one gets for review ;)

I'm not a huge fan of fancy titles either. What I meant to say is that the salary should reflect the contribution. So if two person contribute the same value to the company, they should have same compensations. Which is not necessary tied t

But how elegant it is, umm... :)

This is actually a pretty weak point for the language - that it is tied with personalities (no matter how great they are). For instance, a contrary example would be - as a C++ engineer, I'm more than happy and think that it is one of the st

Besides pure memory, there are other types of resources as well, which are deterministically destroyed/closed/freed (automatically, in C++ RAII usage). Also, in C/C++ your performance critical loop/execution is not interrupted by harvesting

And deterministic memory management, which is quite rare these days... :) But to be honest, skimming through Rust samples, I find its syntax somewhat noisy. It feels ad-hoc. Is there any document about justification of its syntax elements?

wxWidgets is worth mentioning. And instead of mimicking, it uses native widgets/controls under the hood. The non-GUI part of the framework is a quite decent as well.

I have an occasional stammer as well, but for me it is kind of an opposite - I did speak quite well during interviews, but it happens only after I get a job, on a day by day basis - at meetings or conversations with colleagues/friends. Mayb

Yes, I find them enjoyable as well, but it is about time. I'd spend much less time with reading materials.

For me, the killer feature would be the availability of textual/reading material corresponding to 100% of the content provided by videos. So successfully completion of the course won't require watching the videos.

Judging from your panic reaction, you're either a narrow-minded person (an idiot , using your dictionary) or a person who's ass was recently kicked. Most likely you're both. The fact that you didn't even apologize makes you an asshole as w
