  • I don’t have any good reason to be interested in performance. That being said, I tend to view inefficient languages- Python and Javascript especially- as “less good.” Granted, python’s ability to be built on top of C libraries is a huge saving grace. Javascript should be replaced by WebASM in IMO. Like you said, the inefficiencies add up as the scale gets larger.

    As a disclaimer, I could be swayed to like Javascript. I haven’t been challanged on my view yet.

    I’d like to go into embedded programming which is why I’m interested in C and OS dev. Most of the tooling we have (as an internet) is still built for C. I know they’re starting to write parts of the Linux kernel in Rust. How is Rust for that kind of development?
