Would be interesting to describe in more detail what makes it performance oriented.

• beefdev 7y ago
  Performance-oriented implies a type of tradeoff made during design decisions - that tradeoff also means the language is weaker is certain ways than languages such as Javascript, Python, Ruby, etc. Generally that would mean: - More static, less dynamic - No GC - Lighter abstractions - More directly conforms to hardware (even when it create a 'less clean' interface)

    I'm guessing they were asking for some _specific_ features/techniques of Beef that contribute to achieving your design goal. The design goal itself is made very clear.

      Not the author but a few I gathered from reading the docs: - no exceptions - mutable strings with optional pointer access - no GC
