|---|
| schestowitz | http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=1159 | Sep 01 20:32 |
|---|
| schestowitz | That's what had me believe so. Let me reread it now. | Sep 01 20:33 |
|---|
| schestowitz | "D will be a declarative language aimed at non-developers, and will be based on eXtensible Application Markup Language (XAML), sources, who asked not to be named, said." | Sep 01 20:33 |

| schestowitz | Blech. Silverblightfish. | Sep 01 20:33 |

| seller_liar | it's another d | Sep 01 20:33 |

| seller_liar | or not | Sep 01 20:33 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I'm not sure yet. | Sep 01 20:34 |
|---|
| seller_liar | because D is a normal language , imperative | Sep 01 20:35 |
|---|
| schestowitz | http://www.digitalmars.com/d/ | Sep 01 20:35 |
|---|
| schestowitz | That's what I thought. Is Microsoft, brandname-jacking? Well, with a single-letter names, that's likely. | Sep 01 20:35 |
|---|
| seller_liar | digital mars = ms proxy | Sep 01 20:36 |
|---|
| schestowitz | http://news.cnet.com/Microsoft-sued... | Sep 01 20:36 |
|---|
| seller_liar | The D language is statically typed and compiles directly to machine code. It's multiparadigm, supporting many programming styles: imperative, object oriented, and metaprogramming | Sep 01 20:36 |
|---|
| seller_liar | intro in digital mars iste | Sep 01 20:36 |

| schestowitz | It looks like W32. | Sep 01 20:36 |

|---|
| schestowitz | Hmmm... | Sep 01 20:37 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Maybe Microsoft just 'extends' it like it did with Java. | Sep 01 20:37 |
|---|
| seller_liar | but I do not know.... | Sep 01 20:38 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Ben Slivka, Microsoft: "Don’t encourage new, cross-platform Java classes, especially don’t help get great Win 32 implementations written/deployed. [...] Do encourage fragmentation of the Java classlib space." | Sep 01 20:38 |

|---|
| schestowitz | http://www.convergenciadigital.com.br/cgi/cg... | Sep 01 20:56 |
|---|
| benJIman | MinceR: http://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~rlmw/talks/vms.pdf has some good overview of reasons for using JIT for performance. http://java.sun.com/performance/reference/whitep... has some specific new and interesting optimisations added in java 6, obviously those are only the new ones. There's a shedload of academic papers on JVM optimisations http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q... I'm trying to find where I boo | Sep 01 21:01 |
|---|
| *MinceR didn't know java 6 was out already :) | Sep 01 21:01 |
| _Doug_ | Roy .. what ? | Sep 01 21:02 |
|---|
| seller_liar | cacao does jit compilation | Sep 01 21:02 |
|---|
| benJIman | MinceR: 7 out in a few months. | Sep 01 21:02 |
|---|
| _Doug_ | Is jit compilation safe over the Internet ? | Sep 01 21:05 |
|---|
| seller_liar | schestowitz: there are a company here called "rede Globo" , the most destructive company in Brazil | Sep 01 21:05 |
|---|
| seller_liar | _Doug_:I do not know doug,but is more fast | Sep 01 21:06 |
|---|
| MinceR | are there any benchmarks how JIT compares to native code with these optimizations? | Sep 01 21:06 |
|---|
| seller_liar | schestowitz, globo has a lot of contracts with ms some time ago | Sep 01 21:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | benJIman: your mesage got truncated at "I'm trying to find where I boo" | Sep 01 21:06 |
|---|
| MinceR | i see it as "...where I book" | Sep 01 21:07 |
|---|
| seller_liar | MinceR:gcj does fast compilation in native, is very fast | Sep 01 21:07 |
|---|
| benJIman | ... interesting explanation of optimistic optimisations in java. | Sep 01 21:07 |
|---|
| _Doug_ | seee ya'll later .. | Sep 01 21:07 |
|---|
| schestowitz | seller_liar: got articles about it? Even in Portuguese? | Sep 01 21:07 |
|---|
| *_Doug_ has quit ("http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client") | Sep 01 21:07 |
| MinceR | apparently i was right about truncation on irc being impossible to predict. | Sep 01 21:07 |
|---|
| benJIman | seller_liar: Native != faster. | Sep 01 21:07 |
|---|
| seller_liar | schestowitz:wait | Sep 01 21:07 |
|---|
| MinceR | i'm still waiting to see proof of JIT having surpassed the performance of native code :> | Sep 01 21:08 |
|---|
| benJIman | seller_liar: A JIT enables optimisations to be done later, while more information such as profiling is available, and to try optimisations and fall back to unoptimised version if assertions fial. | Sep 01 21:08 |
|---|
| schestowitz | MinceR: it wasn't just me then. Pidgin was the cause at times (other people who use it) | Sep 01 21:08 |
|---|
| seller_liar | benJIman: I know ,but native is more fast ,gcj takes a lot of resources to compile, but gentoo users always say that is fast | Sep 01 21:08 |
|---|
| seller_liar | schestowitz:I know | Sep 01 21:09 |
|---|
| benJIman | seller_liar: native is not faster. | Sep 01 21:09 |
|---|
| MinceR | schestowitz: it's client-independent -- there's a limit on irc message length (512 bytes, iirc), and i suspected that includes at least a prefix the sending client can't really know | Sep 01 21:09 |
|---|
| benJIman | seller_liar: When you compile ahead of time to native code you lose the possibility to do optimisations later. | Sep 01 21:09 |
|---|
| MinceR | (plus iirc it varies depending on where the receiver is) | Sep 01 21:09 |
|---|
| seller_liar | benJIman:yes | Sep 01 21:10 |
|---|
| benJIman | seller_liar: So about the only thing you might gain on is startup time. | Sep 01 21:10 |
|---|
| MinceR | so theoretically JIT can be faster than native code. we know that | Sep 01 21:10 |
|---|
| benJIman | And in practice. | Sep 01 21:10 |
|---|
| MinceR | where are the benchmarks to show that? | Sep 01 21:10 |
|---|
| seller_liar | schestowitz: I will post globo articles after , I need to go , but see the movie " beyond citizen kane" | Sep 01 21:13 |
|---|
| schestowitz | seller_liar: have fun. Thanls. | Sep 01 21:14 |
|---|
| *seller_liar has quit ("Saindo") | Sep 01 21:14 |
| benJIman | MinceR: If you google java benchmarks you will see hundreds, and as you can see you can show pretty much whatever you want with benchmarks depending on what you test. | Sep 01 21:17 |
|---|
| *MinceR shows that C is still faster then Java. :> | Sep 01 21:17 |
| benJIman | If you do microbenchmarks that test specific things that java's JIT optimises then it massively outperforms precompiled versions. If you do macrobenchmarks what are you actually testing? If you do complicated benchmarks have you implemented it the same way in both languages? | Sep 01 21:18 |
|---|
| MinceR | it doesn't have to be implemented the same way -- it has to be implemented in the way that language works best | Sep 01 21:19 |
|---|
| MinceR | and the benchmark should cover a wide spectrum of tasks | Sep 01 21:19 |
|---|
| benJIman | Well one of the most important things about a JIT is that the code doesn't have to be implemented in the way that is most performant. | Sep 01 21:20 |
|---|
| MinceR | i'd assume a competent programmer aiming for performance in such a comparison. | Sep 01 21:20 |
|---|
| benJIman | Programmer writes idiomatic code, and let's the JIT worry about turning it into the fastest implementation. | Sep 01 21:20 |
|---|
| MinceR | (since that's how we aim for performance and that's what we're testing) | Sep 01 21:21 |
|---|
| benJIman | Writing for performance will just bite you in the arse when the next version comes along and someone else's idiomatic code outperforms your performance hacks thanks to JIT improvements. | Sep 01 21:21 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Same in MATLAB ('on-line' optimisations). | Sep 01 21:21 |
