- ChrisRR 3y agoEverything consumes more energy than C
- ttoinou 3y agoExcept ASM, AVX etc.
- moomin 3y agoAnd, see above, Fortran.
- SomeRndName11 3y agono, VHDL and Verilog consume less
- thumbuddy 3y agoSometimes I wonder if that's true long term. The amount of bugs, security issues, and code churn surrounding C code bases is pretty wild. If everybody and all their deployments has to recompile a C code base 100 times over the course of three years to get patches, fixes, etc it makes me wonder what the real cost of C is? My intuition states that this isn't the case, but intuition can be wrong.
- pantalaimon 3y agoMost people don't run Gentoo so binaries are only compiled once.
- seba_dos1 3y agoC is not low-level enough for it to be even remotely true.
- thumbuddy 3y agoYea but it's HN you can't mention Rust just being rust without a bunch of people losing their minds over the fact that someone said "Rust".
