I don't care how the hardware works, we have managed languages for a reason!

    i'd give you a +1, had I not seen so many "devil-may-care" managed programmer screw the underlaying optimizations (for example processor cache layers etc.) by ignoring principles like immutable data etc...

    That's why we throw more hardware at it. It's cheap now.

    @panzer-ragu That is indeed the case if you run 1, 2, 3 or 10 machines, but start running 500+ machines and 1000+ service instances; A GC pause difference of 10ms can save you thousands of dollers!

    Always throw more hardware at a problem; much cheaper than engineer's time. Screw optimizations!!

    @senor-dev optimizations are for when you are a peasant company that uses bare minimum hardware or when you want to look cool because you can program in ASM or some dumb stuff like that.

    Agreed. Optimizations are for plebs. The cloud will solve all our problems, I tell ya

    @senor-dev This is why I think C++ is stupid. It's too heavy for the cloud.

    @panzer-ragu c++ too heavy for the cloud? That's bullshit, it is one of the fastest languages and very lightweight. Furthermore hou should always optimise your code. You are basicly waisting CPU-time and power by running a non-optimised program, and that's never a good idea.

    Plus, without optimising, programs like autocad, games and ai wouldn't be possible.

    Dude I hate this kind of conformist mediocre thinking.
