No one said AMD is virtuous. However they work hard to produce and mantain open standards that benefit everyone. The only other GPU producer is anti-competitive and anti-customer, …

"Slower and more expensive". Yes, $240 r9 290s all the time xs down to $260 at times. The former is very near the 970 and the latter overcomes in many games. Both are preferred at …

I'm not an evangelical snob, I can forgive transgressons obviously. But we aren't talking about a company that doesn't only attack open standards. This isn't even really a moral ar…

First of all, AMD does release drivers and fix issues. It takes a couple weeks but it happens. And if you look at benchmarks the r9 290 still trades blows with the 970, there's no …

> Similar performance characteristics (or better) than Go. Nope. It's without a doubt 100% better. The GC is brilliant and realtime with deterministic properties. The community has…

What in the HELL are you talking about? The thread local GC won't even produce anything on the shared heap - it's thread local. Shared memory is manual memory only - Just like C, C…

Yes it is. Threads don't share a GC - there's no implicit sharedness. Memory is copied between threads. And of course, it doesn't prevent manual management of shared memory (just n…

And adding onto the other reply - Nimrod's GC has a realtime mode where you can specify when to run, and the maximum time. I made a (small) game in Nimrod and called the GC every f…
