Just use Rust....


How low we can get eventually ?



aren't the cost of input the lowest in the world already in china ? Why they go down if so ?


Useless.


Politics, Doctrine, Ideology, Fundamentalism. Meh


Latency becomes commodity.


Feels like we are all preparing for exciting adventure.


From 3 features he presented (Concurency, JIT, Soft Typing) I would put 5 $ on JIT, rest is pretty much against his philosophy.


Can't wait until Apple will disclose more information about Swift IR that compiles to LLVM IR. Too bad they canceled this year LLVM Devmeeting keynote.


I'm guessing that it's only conventions to work around the hardware specific parts of LLVM IR. Stuff like pointer and integer size, etc.

If you want to look at something similar, OpenCL has an LLVM IR -based standardized binary IR.


Actually, this is very wrong :)

SIL has a very large number of differences from LLVM IR. It's essentially built as an IR that the can do static analysis and high level optimization on.

This means it has a number of higher level constructs that LLVM doesn't, in order to be able to achieve the semantics they want for static analysis, and in order to be able to do things like optimize dispatch.


Just check Haskell LLVM backend instead.


I'm wondering why my petition is not there... what could be the reason ?


I can't find some companies on there I know have done it too.
