You should also try D to see that seamless C interop has always been there for many years.
It may outclass it in performance. However, all my life I've been waiting for something that runs over 10h on a single charge. I am naturally surprised that this is not something that ppl truly appreciate in a laptop.…
What?! There are static languages that compile faster: Nim, D... Honestly, I used ggplotD library and it takes roughly two seconds to compile and miliseconds to show the plot.
Julia is fast but not faster and very memory hungry. If you care about squeezing every bit of performance you generally go to C++. If you too lazy for C++ you go D. Hence to me, Julia is an odd tool. Interesting but…
Noice! Reading through the release notes leaves a feeling of D being a mature language long enough. If you're looking for magnitutes faster scripting alternative to Python like once me, take a peek!
Rust is not a very good example here considering the amount of time the op might have spent waiting for the compiler and steep learning curve of the language...
Why don't you try D if type-and-compile is what you enjoy?
not on mobile but as a service -- Abbyy is the market leader in OCR from documents.
Julia looks more like Python than a fp language tbo and that was why I staed away. The most elegant fp code I've seen was written in Scala.
I read through Arraymancer readme and the rationale and got very mixed feelings about the project and its purpose. It's everything and nothing at the same time. NumPy like syntax and functionality, sklearn algorithms…
Thanks. So here are the points for D according to the table. Very few breaking changes because language is pretty mature. Not sure if Nim is as stable but just this one fact is enough for me personally. D has slices,…
Also, all good points. Appreciate that.
Thank you for the detailed answer. It clears things up.
Ok. But going back to the issue. I live in Munich and know at least two big companies who use D in production and organize meetups. I have yet to see a single company that uses Nim.
It was a developed by too few ppl from the start and by the time it became usable it was way too late
Are you the same person who attacked ppl on D forum. The nickname is familiar and the style ;) Chill. All languages have dusty corners and given the amount of ppl D has it's obvious that not all things are fixed in time…
Depends on where do you read ;) But tbo D community concentrates around D forum and in majority consists of former C/C++ veterans. Being a younger language Nim lures younger and active members who probably never heard…
With all due respect, Nim is a great language performance wise however I fail to see how is it different from D. Many advertised features have been present in D for a long time. Syntax wise Nim it is a step back. It's…
Can you be a little bit more concrete about the tech you are building right now that is not possible to build using classic ML approaches? You see, I am actually going to work thinking about how should we reduce the…
I thought so too, now I believe that it was sheer naivety. If anything, the realization that education matters is the last thing they come to because this is not their task. Pumping resources out while maintaining the…
You can't even imagine. The whole east Russian speaking conglomerate of contries is basically a test to your human nature and survivalism.
And don't forget that "modern alternative" should boast as good as Lua C ffi which is a tough thing to beat. Should I mention luajit?
Once you get to know Lua tables and then metatables, you will question the existence of different data structures :)
D, Rust -- just what first springs to mind.
I feel like MS laptops are getting bashed left and right by various online experts these days without a decent reason. Apple products are not less cheaper and follow the same "100EUR for a charger" scheme. If you…
