I'm seeing a big different when compiling our project, with the M1 Macbook Pro beating the iMac Pro when building our projects (23min vs 38 mins).

Is it all CPU though, or is building ARM artefacts less resource intensive than bulding ones for Intel ?

The difference in avg memory for first and second is substantial, 115.41 MiB Java vs 4.15 MiB Rust.

I have heard something similar to this but just assumed it was a coincidence. Has this every been proven with verified results ?

Same here.

Yeah, I still remember playing Tekken for the first time at my friends house, which was over 25 years ago. It was truly jaw dropping for the time.

Sony marketed the device to an older generation e.g they had PlayStation demo station in night clubs. Until Sony entered the gaming market, consoles were largely considered a children toy.

I think the demo disks with the PS magazines are often overlooked as well.

I don’t see how that helps apps not in the App Store, as bitcode need to changed to a platform specific type .... unless this was done on the fly on the host platform.

"machines" ;)

I have Catalina on a iMac Pro, a 16inch and 15 MacBook pro and for what it worth have hit zero issues.

Is bitcode only required for watchOS and tvOS ?

Yeah, something is really wrong here.

It helps if your think gardener instead of janitor.

Why do you think that? Seems like Rust is a great choice for this type of high performance work.

The article mentioned that they have already used Rust successfully in house, so when you consider that Rust is inherently safer than C++, it seems like they picked the right language.

Does RN work on macOS ?

Yes.

Actix-Web 2.0 was released over the Christmas and with Rust's new async api, the ergonomics of the framework have vastly improved. So not only is it really fast but now much easier to use compared to version 1.

I think it will eat into the C++ market share on mobile, which is a common strategy for larger apps that need to share business logic with native UI.

I believe the parent post is correct and mechanism used to link effects the licence.

Yeah, it looks exciting.

Calling someone cheap is not helpful in discussions like this, and really undermine your arguments.

I’m curious, what library do you use to handle the REST requests ?

Elixirforums have reported year on years increased traffic, so I’m surprised to hear that.

Do you include web development in that ?

I know you said Rust was too unfamiliar but if you want the efficiency of C++ but in a safe language this is where I would start (and what I’m currently learning). For what it’s worth, the Rust web framework Actix has some of the best performance numbers on techempower.

>C++ on Windows makes heavy use of reference counting (which is a GC algorithm from CS point of view), via COM/UWP.

Not sure if Ref counting is a good example here, as there is no runtime monitoring the object graph hierarchy and of course Rust it’s self uses ref counting in many situations.

Indeed they have. What’s missing in some of the discussion here is the size of the application. For large applications like Office, a shared code base is often the correct strategy.

>On iOS the situation has gotten worse in that the interface between Swift and C++ has to go through C, so if you are using C++ you need a special interface layer, which is almost like the JNI situation on Android.

I’m curious why you don’t add an Objective c layer for C++ interoperability, I’ve done this in the past and it works a great.
