I’m just guessing, but what about backwards compatibility? Or cross-system compatibility?
For example, something like a syscall that’s existed for 20 years. Changing it would break old apps.
Of course you could just keep the now “old” syscall and add new methods that replicate it’s behavior, but haven’t you then introduced bloat? More ways to do the same thing, meaning (eventually) more bugs, more fragmentation, memory usage, etc.
The joke was so good he had to buy him a drink
33% down, 100% to go you mean?
browsers that are out there already C is compiled
JS makes heavy use of pollyfills where needed, bridging the gap between old browsers and new ones.
A binary might still require a specific shared lib version, specific architecture, whatever, it’s not a magic bullet.
update gcc and any needed libraries
Doesn’t always work when working with legacy unupdated dependencies.
security concerns… …scripts to take over the users compurer
Wouldn’t having compiled code running in the browser (via webassembly) be actually worse for security? With JS you can at least see the source that’s being run, with compiled WA, not so much. Don’t really understand this point.
Isn’t the “extension” problem the same with almost all programming languages?
For example, does 80s C compile under gcc with 2015 features? If it does, then it’s no better than JS.
Nextjs is pretty far with the hybrid approach with appdir. It’s not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but it works surprisingly well
Why exactly is it horse shit? It does have it’s quirks but I wouldn’t go that far
Hm don’t think I can help you with that unfortunately.
It’s nice for quickly seeing what a PR is about, not much more
That’s a super young market by airline standards, still settling in. Not comparable
Source for this hypothesis?
I don’t see how the last point changes anything compared to the current situation
Hdmi 2.1 can do 8k60
Since 8k60 exists, I’m sure at least 90hz would be doable with today’s standards
Yeah, but people don’t like change, and I’d expect low level engineers to like it even less.
And looking at Linux, that shit still supports ancient hardware, being able to actually get rid of old code (that now has to be maintained alongside the new code) is gonna be a PITA.
