The kind of bagel that ruins lesser bagels for you.
Summary
The article discusses the challenges of optimizing modern low-level languages due to their complexity in reflecting hardware, requiring complex alias analysis, and memory management. It highlights the benefits of constrained languages in making optimization easier and mentions the concept of stream fusion in Haskell as an example of optimization.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledA recurring problem in modern 'low-level' languages is that they are hard to optimize.
Exposing raw pointers makes the optimizer's job horribly hard.
High-level languages can constrain your program, making more optimizations sound.
