I measured startup of the runtimes a long time ago, and back in the days of node.js 010.x at least, Python 2's startup time was twice as fast as Node.js's, and Java's wasn't much worse than Node.js. I don't know how…
you clearly didn't read the post very closely. They said 2.5% of CPU cycles were spent on stop-the-world young generation collections, not on the sum total of all memory mangement. That means that 2.5% of the time the…
I developed at a Windows-centric shop for several years using C# and Visual Studio, and I can personally attest, at least in 2013, that stock Visual Studio is pretty far behind Java IDEs in its capabilities. At the time…
As someone who has recently learned C# and known Scala for a while, I am very impressed with what C# has to offer as a language. However, it is not nearly as well-designed as Scala. Microsoft has piled on feature after…
I have an example of a bug I found that looked like an optimization bug but was really a user bug. Someone had the bright idea of sprintf-ing to a string and using the string itself as one of the format arguments to the…
