Go is fast they said, Go is lightweight they said.

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
var nums []int
for i := 10; i > 0; i++ {
nums = append(nums, i)
i--
}
fmt.Println(nums)
}

# htop
| PID | USER | VIRT | %CPU | %MEM

    @devTea all this extra time in semi-isolation. may as well make some rookie mistakes in a new language.

    on a semi related note, i was starting to think this endless loop was affecting you too.

    The best go fail in my opinion was when it unrolled a really long (million iteration) loop for someone on stack overflow and made a 4gb executable

    @devTea As one should. It's when the complaints stop that you know something is really wrong.

    @SevenDeadlyBugs good to know, i haven't made it to a point of worrying about performance yet, as you can see, im only messing around with 10 iterations at the moment, but ill keep this in mind when i do scale up to real use cases.

    @SevenDeadlyBugs thats a "tip" that i expected to be common knowledge and was severely disappointed when i learned the most people dont know. If i ever interview someone, thats gonna be one of the questions

    Array and linked list are two different thing. Array work by allocating new memory when it size is full and allow random access.

    Some language should just implement true array

    @Kashmir I think it's a tree of hashmaps or something equally horrible that involves a hashmap. I think so because if you use string literals as keys it's exactly as fast as numbers, which I can only explain with stringnames and hashmaps.

    I'm more worried of the fact that User column shows 'root'
