To what extent writing your code in WebAssembly (eg Rust) can help with those points (eg structs in C argument). It would still run in a JS VM so I'm guessing a bit, but not to the full extent?

This article is really a reiteration of a https://wiki.c2.com/?SufficientlySmartCompiler argument. I would've sticked to a massively less appealing, but more closer to reality: "We've been lied to: JavaScript

We tried to use it a year ago or so, because of the performance promise. We were getting random glitches every few thousand files during operations. There was no obvious pattern, so difficult to reproduce, and as far as I remember there was

I'm a bit speechless... Can someone explain how does this scheme can even exist? It sounds preposterous.

This is big! Can't wait until we have radios that can also show images.

For me personally, it's really important how productive a language environment is after a few years of development. Therefore: - debugging environment - memory and CPU profilers - compilation and linting time of 100k+ codebases - IDE s

That's interesting - I hate wasting food, I have never complained about my order (and not planning too, unless the food is spoiled I guess). If I don't like the food, I'll just never order again from the same place. I would d

Surely, you must have sampled ethanol? ;)

In a sense, yes - I believe the damaging effects of sugar and social media on the society is far greater than psychedelics might have if decriminalised. They definitely don't deserve to be Class A in the UK and Schedule I in the US. Ev

Oh I definitely don't think it's the same. I would argue the items I have listed above are significantly more damaging to society than mushrooms. On the subject of heroin, what about more dangerous psychoactive substance - ethanol

This type of empty fear mongering comment is unhelpful at best. It's a McDonalds of a comment. What's a lot of people? Why are psychedelics so special compared to anything else (sugar, Facebook, gambling). "It doesn't ha

As with any metaphor, technical debt has its' limits and its' traps. IMHO the biggest problem is that a comparison with lending implies that technical debt can be managed like people do with a loan. With loan you know how much of

Some reasons that I don't think have been covered yet: - experienced programmers are promoted out of the tech track - it causes all sort of problems, people keep reinventing the wheel, they are forced to relearn through their own mista

Thank you for mentioning monomorphization - I wasn't aware of this concept. Would you maybe if there's any source discussing how this is solved in different languages and performance consequences of it?

Yes, yes and yes. Last time I checked human cognition and collaboration seemed to attract very little interest. I suppose this somehow falls into a slot of "Human Productivity". For instance - instinctively I find Clojure easier t

The test that never can get slower - I'm curious how they do it.. In my experience tracking performance regressions is much bigger challenge than solving performance issues.

It's always been just a bit funny to me in case of French... A lot of these words are of Greek & Latin origin, some of them even come from French (eg. flame). I know I'm going to stir up a hornet's nest with this one... A
