Yeah, although one can argue they are badly designed if they do so from the performance/energy perspective.

You can share a monitor between two computers.

What do you on macOS that isn't available on Windows? Really curious.

The problem is not the "open" development.

The actual issue is this new Microsoft full of half-done projects and trying to reduce engineering costs. They even try to make others write the documentation for their products... MSDN is gone and now docs are a mess.

Ballmer was a mess, but at least he got the devs-first bit right. Nowadays it is devs-last, cloud-first.

It is not named after him, at least now: the tool is called Compiler Explorer.

The thing is that he originally served it from its domain so people use both interchangeably.

Agreed, it is lacking tooling support and many other things, but it is a cleaner C++. That plus the borrow checker are its two major features. Otherwise, nobody would use it and their designers would have done a pretty bad job given the 30 years of experience they had from C++!

You're welcome!

It is still a ton of time, about an order of magnitude more than optimal if the real/sys time split is to be believed.

That applies to many conservative languages like the usual classic suspects such as C or Fortran.

In fact, in comparison, Go is pretty unstable compared to those two once you take into account the total time they have existed.

It is definitely not unique to Go.

Those are great examples, thank you! I had no idea they offered most of those services.

A 1.5 years old phone is not "somewhat old"... if anything, it is pretty new.

In many countries, it is not even out of warranty!

Yes, some people change phones every year, but that does not mean the device itself is old just because you change it.

2 ms per 10 files is a huge amount of time.

For someone with no clue about that world, may you give some examples?
