My mistake, sorry. Same for D above. Point stands, though: if your language is too far down the list, better algorithms might be enough.

The study seems to be “solve this the obvious way, don’t think too hard about it”. Then the systems languages (C, Zig, C++) are pretty close, the GC languages are around an order o…

I agree that Google (and in the above comment MS) failed to fulfill their lofty promises (“don’t be evil” etc.) But the blame is on us: we should have known better than to entrust …
