We had an article on the front page yesterday about Swift’s ABI and how much Apple has invested in dynamic linking: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26205969 > It's worth noting that the Swift devs disagree with the Rust and C++ codegen orthodoxy in one major way: they care much more about code sizes (as in the amount of executable code produced). More specifically, they care a lot more about making efficient usage of the cpu's instruction cache, because they believe it's better for system-wide power usage. Apple championing this concern makes a lot of sense, given their suite of battery-powered devices. |
