On: Surprising result while transpiling C to Go

[christophilus]

I’ve used all of those except SML. Go is much easier to set up and get productive in, in my opinion. And if you care about compilation speed, you can forget about F#.

I say this as someone who loves F#.

In what concerns UNIX workloads, it is the same apt/rpm/yum + vim/emacs/vscode workflows.

Common Lisp stuff like LispWorks and Allegro, run the installer, done.

Why are you compiling F# AOT to binary all the time?

[christophilus → pjmlp]

I’ve never AOT compiled F#. It’s just slow in normal, iterative mode compared to Go. I’m on Linux, though. Maybe it’s better on Windows?

[pjmlp → christophilus]

I guess we have different measures of slow, specially in a language that even comes with a REPL in the box.
