Definitely better than C though.
You mean the editor written in electron, the framework that takes Javascript to even more ridiculous levels - i.e a desktop app?
Unless a language implements malloc() and free(), this is the case for any language. Your point?
How is that a bad thing? Generics are an anti-pattern for high performance code. Strong typing is strong performance.
I like Rust quite a bit. It doesn't have enough weight behind it though. Go has Google behind it and that makes a huge difference. Rust needs some critical mass behind it before it'll really take off.
+1 to this and someone's earlier comment about weren't they always hard to hire.
The exact classes depend on the university, but there's a long distance between the CPU architecture they teach in school and the real world of high performance programming. A very, very long distance when GPUs get involved. Knowing some MIPS assembly from reading the book is the least important thing in the world. For laughs, try asking one of these fresh grads which order to iterate over a 2D array.
I was not questioning the use of Node.js, as we have React/Redux code here as well that is brand new. My issue is with the candidates who think they're accomplished programmers because they wrote a few hundred lines of code gluing together dozens of Node packages, and then list that as something they're good at. Same goes for the Unity game developer crowd, who couldn't patch together the simplest scene without a whole lot of helper functions and framework.
Some of us consider that to be a negative ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You had toggle switches? We had to rotate the magnets by hand!You kids and your newfangled programming languages. When I was writing embedded code, it was assembler all the way. Except we reverted to machine language on the factory floor, where there were no development tools — just rows of toggle switches.
Magnets?
I would like to like Go but it's not for real-time programming (Google people claim their gc is down to 20 millisecond levels but that's an eternity with real-time systems) plus it's too much tied to Google's interests. But it's good for micoservices *). Otherwise I put my hopes on Rust so we could finally put aside all the issues with C/C++ security and memory issue.
VSC is not that bad performance-wise even if it's written in Javascript/Typescript. The issue is Electron, if you have one instance the VM traffic is decent, multiple Electron instances (Slack, other apps) and suddenly you wonder why your high end computer is constantly paging.You mean the editor written in electron, the framework that takes Javascript to even more ridiculous levels - i.e a desktop app?
VSCode is actually pretty nifty though my tools of choice these days are from the JetBrains family, CLion for C++, Pycharm for python, GoLand for go.
How so?
You ducked my question and started to take a swipe at me. Not cool. GCs are the future, get used to liking them or get used to writing C. Or try answering my question as to why you think GCs are bad?
