Language Performance Comparisons Are Junk

Whenever I see an upload with Prime and Casey, the next 2 hours is gone. Everything else can wait.

I remember when the 1 billion loops one did the rounds on social media. I janked together a similar example locally between ruby and python. Both were slow, but ruby won. Then I switched from ruby 3.3.5 to truffle ruby and it went from ~30s to ~2s. What did I learn from this? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

I cannot get over how amazing these streams with Casey are. The way in which he explains things is so clear, and the chemistry you two have on stream is amazing.

I think the real question here is "why are C, Rust, and Zig different at all?" If you're compiling with clang, then every single one is just an llvm frontend, and for for loop iterations, there's more than likely going to be exactly 0 difference in the binary output except for whatever timer they're using and the calling convention of whatever functions there are.

My "Bubble sort small data sets as a Service" company DEPENDS on these benchmarks!!!

God I love these videos with Cacey, sitting down in the morning with coffee listening to these two for an hour just motivates me and relaxes me at the same time.

"We test C by hindering all possible optimization that are available for C" :D

Casey is the goat. Always learn so much when listening to him.

seeing Casey on the channel always warms my heart. I love this guys' talks
