| Sky89 <Sky89@sky68.com>: Jun 02 05:55PM -0400 Hello.. Delphi and FreePascal compilers that i work with are still "useful", because the pascal benchmark was done with FreePascal, and the benchmark shows that C, Go and Pascal do rather better if you're considering languages based on time and memory or energy and memory.

| Sky89 <Sky89@sky68.com>: Jun 02 05:31PM -0400 Hello.. Energy efficiency isn't just a hardware problem. Your programming language choices can have serious effects on the efficiency of your energy consumption. We dive deep into what makes a programming language energy efficient. As the researchers discovered, the CPU-based energy consumption always represents the majority of the energy consumed. What Pereira et. al. found wasn't entirely surprising: speed does not always equate energy efficiency. Compiled languages like C, C++, Rust, and Ada ranked as some of the most energy efficient languages out there.

The clarity and completeness of the specification is orthogonal to the process. Ours are generally along the lines of "as an operator, I need to do blah...". Doing Blah will usually involve changes to multiple modules withing both the controls and UI code bases. <snip> > Your strategy sounds very worthy but is the equivalent of calling in a > team of management consultants and project managers to help me build a > garden fence. The strategy enables us to modify and extend existing code knowing we haven't disrupted its original functionality and enables future maintainers to modify the new code with the same assurances. Chaos can quickly turn to catastrophe when there are over one hundred people working on the same code base... >> No, because I have to verify that it won't pass a new test before the >> code to pass the test is written. > I couldn't program like that. You have the luxury of working solo and deadline free on your own code! -- Ian. |
