minus-square@Cpo@lemm.eelinkfedilink1•11 months ago while C has to fiddle with void* and function pointer to get similar flexibility, which are much harder to optimize, as none of the type information is there. I thought we were discussing speed, not ease of use?
minus-square@Cpo@lemm.eelinkfedilink1•11 months ago…so now we are discussing not speed again but ease of use. Not everything with an R in it is faster than C. Read up about it. Everyone says so. I’m out.
