Project mention: In defense of complicated programming languages | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-01-25
> There is something in video games called minmaxing, which is where you maximize one attribute at the expense of all of the others. For me C++, and now Rust, feel like they are guilty of this with their weight on zero-cost abstractions.
> I think it was literally just meant to be the bare minimum to try to solve the most important parts of the problem, and at that it succeeds.
In other words, it's the cost effectiveness of a language feature. You want features to provide as much value for as little cost as possible. This is what Go's going for; to paraphrase Russ Cox - "If a feature is not clearly above the bar, it's below it." [1].
> Just as reducing programming language complexity doesn’t remove it, but only moves it around, removing runtime cost doesn’t remove it either. And the problem here isn’t that compile time isn’t a better time than runtime; it’s the hidden costs that suck. Sure, maybe the compile times in Rust will improve, and maybe it’s not even that big of a deal. But every little feature the language has puts some additional stress on the ecosystem. The language server has to bear this load, for example.
The worst hidden cost that's often missed is the impact on the programmer.
Take Python's controversial walrus operator [2]. If you look at the reasoning and the examples, the change seems reasonable. But consider that once the feature gets implemented, every single Python programmer will have to learn what it does in order to be able to read others' code. Does this feature provide enough to justify this weight? Undoubtedly not. Of course, it got implemented anyway, because the impact of making the code slightly more readable in some cases is clearly visible, but the cost incurred on every single programmer's mind is not.
This is how languages reach untenable levels of complexity. By the time you realize your language is getting complex you're 20 features in and it's too late to turn back. "A frog dropped in a pot of boiling water will jump out of the pot to save his own life. If the frog is put into cool water and slowly brought to a boil, he will remain there until he is cooked through."

Scout APM
Less time debugging, more time building. Scout APM allows you to find and fix performance issues with no hassle. Now with error monitoring and external services monitoring, Scout is a developer's best friend when it comes to application development.

The ram Julia uses at startup comes mainly from 3 places. 1. OpenBLAS buffers (this is the biggest by a bunch). Julia allocates a bunch of memory to make matrix multiplication faster. It would be possible (and smart) to deffer this allocation until the user asks to do a large matrix multiplication, (this would be a great PR). 2. LLVM. Julia keeps a compiler in ram so that it can generate code for new method instances. As of 1.8, https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/41936 will allow Julia to have a much lower memory footprint if you have a sysimage and don't need to define new methods 3. Docs. Julia stores all the docs for every function in ram so you can look up help strings. This could be loaded more lazily.

v
Simple, fast, safe, compiled language for developing maintainable software. Compiles itself in <1s with zero library dependencies. https://vlang.io
Project mention: It's not what programming languages do, it's what they shepherd you to | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-01-06> You've ignored my earlier point about pure functions that are allowed to have side effects.
I was more hoping that you would read what they actually wrote. If one bothers to actually click the link on vlang.io which refers to "pure functions" it would go to (https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/doc/docs.md#pure-func...) their documentation where they elaborate on it further.
There you will find, "V is not a purely functional language however".
You are arguing (or condemning) from the perspective of what is a pure function, where there are various opinions about such. V's documentation gives their interpretation and explanation on what is a "pure function".
Thus they are not lying, attempting to deceive, or hiding anything. Click the link, get their explanation about pure functions. Arguing about the "purity" of pure functions, is somewhat similar to arguing about what is or is not OOP. There are different interpretations of such.
> ...to be constantly accused of something I'm not doing...
Reading your other comments on this thread (in other locations), it does appear that you are a Go language supporter. Nothing wrong with that and you are definitely entitled to your opinion. Not saying you are doing anything malicious, but rather people are allowed to also have a different opinion to what you have stated, or like the V language as you appear to with Go.

red
Red is a next-generation programming language strongly inspired by Rebol, but with a broader field of usage thanks to its native-code compiler, from system programming to high-level scripting and cross-platform reactive GUI, while providing modern support for concurrency, all in a zero-install, zero-config, single 1MB file!
whoops, you are right, i missed that detail: https://github.com/red/red/issues/3412#issuecomment-39593686...
i am watching red on the sidelines as i am waiting for it to become usable for my interests, so i am not tracking every detail.
though i'd appreciate if you could use a less adversarial and demanding attitude. this is not appropriate for a Free Software and Open Source project, and it only serves to annoy the developers which reduces their motivation to work on the project.
your complaints, even if they were acceptable, won't help your cause. at best they will be ignored. at worst they will slow progress down as developers are less motivated.
it has been explained that the current compiler is not the final version, and as such, speedy static builds are simply not a development goal. and they should not be, because the goal is to rebuild the compiler, at which point this issue may be addressed if it is important enough. when that happens, then it is time to make a case for static builds. until then things will go faster if you could stay out of the developers ways.
