We're now hiring someone to help work on the compiler and surrounding tools like program visualization and debugging. Help save civilization from the vicious feedback loop of bad software, and accompanying skill deterioration, into which we are getting stuck.

The D language group has an article claiming programs with GC can be faster than manually managed ones at times (https://dlang.org/spec/garbage.html …). Does this only apply against programs doing RAII + ref counting, or is there no merit at all to this?
-
Everyone always says this. Java people said this and still do. They are always comparing against slow programs because they don’t really know what fast is.

If I could change one thing about javascript, it would be the option to manage your memory to some extent. Instead, I try to memory pool as much as I can.

And yet, they don't stop getting faster. 50µs Stop The World on average is a pretty good price tag for a *lot* of applications.https://malloc.se/blog/zgc-jdk16

"Price tag"? Really? What is the total cost of the garbage collector in this kind of scenario? Have you even bothered to think about it, or are you taking the average pause time as the actual total cost (which is completely nonsensical)?
