NOOOOOOOO

Please no, don’t subsidize anything Java-Script. It will only make it less efficient.

Interesting.

So it basically enables some more compiler magic. As an embedded guy I’ll stay away from it, since I like my code being translated a bit more directly, but maybe I’ll look into the generated code and see if I can apply some of the ideas for optimizations in the future.

I never looked into this, so I have some questions.

Isn’t the overhead of a new function every time going to slow it down? Like I know that LLVM has special instructions for Haskell-functions to reduce overhead, but there is still more overhead than with a branch, right? And if you don’t use Haskell, the overhead is pretty extensive, pushing all registers on the stack, calling new function, push buffer-overflow protection and eventual return and pop everything again. Plus all the other stuff (kinda language dependent).

I don’t understand what advantage is here, except for stuff where recursive makes sense due to being more dynamic.

Can we stop pretending Rust doesn’t take performance trade-offs? Of course if you compare it one to one its roughly the same, since it’s compiled. But Optimizing memory for cache hits becomes a lot more difficult in Rust, to the point where you have to use unsafe. And unsafe Rust has more undefined behavior than C. In my opinion C is more safe than unsafe Rust.

If you want normal performance its a good Language, but once you need to Optimize memory, which is usually the bottleneck, You are out of luck.

When you try to do something and the horny thoughts keep popping up
