    For how long you had tinnitus before making it disappear, if I may ask.

    That is exactly the reason why we have lonters, errors and limitations when programming. Bc the "give a check by hand" or the "unbound discipline" never works. The more things you …

    Yes, I meant the concepts needed for low level language and tweaking when high performance is of concern.

    I agree. But this is not what you see on the headlines and what money-incentivized stakeholders are saying.

    I am not sure of the real life difference of this. You can tweak C++ a lot, you can make caches, etc your own with memoization and others. True that you would need to build it by h…

    Not a dichotomy actually. Highly depends on the task.

    I also like d a lot even if I did not use it that much (toolchain and getting things done problems mostly, besides not great platform support). The metaprogramming of D is really i…

    Little by little, Rust, like D, acknowledges that C++ flexibility regarding object construction, copy and move, even if too much as a default, is sometimes needed :) I saw in D yea…

    Well, yes. True that for long-running apps JVM seems to be tuned. I meant the kind of "perf-to-the-instruction" thst native can generate vs other considerations.

    Comment #49122549

    It depends on how you look at it. C++ is very different since it is native. Java is a VM. This affects lots of decisions in weird ways. But in essence both commit to backwards stab…

    Yes. Having a strong spec helps also in general. I think that, with all things on the table, backwards compatibility, a spec and, where things are broken things are signaled should…

    Rhis is the correct way to do it in enterprise environments. C++ gets a lotof rage for doing the same thing. The last thing you want in an enterprise environment is that your worki…
