Java is slow. It's going nowhere fast. LLVM on the other hand...

Amazon has always seemed to me to offer the best support of any industry. They truly are honorary when it comes to customer treatment

You're such a brave white knight aren't you.

You forget you're on HN where slow ass designer languages are all the hail. Sigh..

Ruby on Rails and your single-origin latte is calling. C is the most performant for years now, a large part of the kernel is in assembly. Remember to download your gems tonight, ru…
