> Some of you want to keep working without being paid, because that feels a bit like communism within capitalism, it makes you feel good to contribute to the greater good while not having the system determine your value over money. I hear you. I’ve been there (and sometimes still am). But as long as we live in this system, even though we didn’t choose to and maybe even despise it - communism is not about working for free, it’s about getting paid equally and adequately.

Crazies say they validate and test their idea, but they actually suffer from severe confirmation bias where they summarily dismiss any counterexample or problem.

> Whoever does it basically gets a free nuclear test that the other nuclear powers would probably be jealous

If Russia/China/US/France/... want to do a test, they do it. There is nothing to negotiate and no one to beg for permission.

France did nuclear tests in 1996 despite massive international outrage and pressure.

When you run a tight hot loop, GC has no impact.

Just like you wouldn't allocate smart pointers in a tight C++ loop.

You can do dumb slow things in both languages, and yes, C# programmers might be less informed about these topics, but it's not a language problem.

> Another thing you can immediately see is that the QML version of the algorithm is generally much slower than the JavaScript version. As noted above, this is due to it being built on QObjects rather than JavaScript objects.

Of course, QML is trying to beat the browser at it's own game, but can't match the billions invested in browser performance.

Qt classic is dead, and QML is a less featured, less documented, underperforming copy of Electron.
