Enter your thoughts on number 789 here. Please, no spamming, trolling, phreaking, or rapturing. Thanks for making a tribute to Dennis. *later* It is getting too slow&#133; I better optimise most of it with Asm… *later* I can't get it to go any faster… Better remake it in an FPGA. *later* I'll just hard-wire it... *later* I'll move it to the Cloud! (puns intended) Meanwhile an alternate universe god is thinking “maybe if I wrote the universe in Java…” >Only if he wanted it even slower... Or maybe its an alternate universe where Java was actually sensible? >>Unoptimised Java is usually faster than unoptimised C, due to the dynamic optimisations of the JVM. Java's slowness is widely known from the pre-HotSpot JVM because it had a slow GC. It's still slow on startup though, but that is usually only done once assuming you're writing a real application. >Meanwhile in Java, a giant volcano sits waiting for a trigger >>a giant beer volcano! >>>I happen to be be moving to Java later this year. This is a much more important death event than that other one that's been all over the net recently. >+1 :(( RIP Ritchie, you deserve a better recognition.
