Depends on the requirements. Writing the code in a natural and readable way should be number one.
Then you benchmark and find out what actually takes time; and then optimize from there.
At least thats my approach when working with mostly functional languages. No need obsess over the performance of something thats ran only a dozen times per second.
I do hate over engineered abstractions though. But not for performance reasons.
Loving the new AI integration. Excited to see how it will evolve over time. Only thing im still really missing is Code With Me (or something else like Live Share so i can pair program)
Almost exclusively. Was doing Scala for 5+ years, followed by F# now for the past 5 years. But im also doing React and sometimes node.js etc when needed.
I really love FP, although i tend to write more pragmatic code, and follow the principle of “functional core, imperative shell” rather than using imo overly complicated free monads and the likes.
The latter. Yes, screen share works great if you just want to let others see your screen, but i still miss them being able to edit the code with me.
