WSL1 was banger im mad they didnt continue with it
WSL1 was banger im mad they didnt continue with it
MAGREED
Mfire take
Awhy what was the difference
Mstill have wsl1 installed
Mit's not just a VM
LWSL1 wasnt a whole VM
Aahhh ok
Lit literally ran the linux apps
Lon windows
Anice
Mthey actually implemented part of the linux kernel on NT
Aim guessing it was too much effort for ol' mikey to continue on with it i guess
Twe can't have nice things
Lits why its called the "windows subsystem for linux"
Lsince WSL1 was a whole NT personality iirc
Mno, it couldn't go GPU acceleration for machine learning so they ditched it
Al o l
Lthey COULD have just piped D3D12 in there like they did with WSL2
A
Pi was looking into that, it's because of silly things like it having to traverse like five functions to work out that
instead of
like a sane compiler
for x in 0..3 is a for loop. because it technically desugars intoinstead of
like a sane compiler
Lpeople care about money
and machine learning makes money
and machine learning makes money
Atru
Mwhat the fuck
Mat this point maybe llvm should special case rustc output
Mmind blown that rust performs at all
Lmaybe LLVM should special case rustc and just fuckign delete the users hard drive when they try to compile rust code
Pyou create the range 0..3, you call into_iter on it, you call next on the result of that, if next is some then you loop
Ayeah idk why languages seem to be devolving into range-based for loops
Acause unless you compile it properly
Athat aint gonna be faster
Pand most of LLVM's time is spent passing over loads of those functions
Arust is a clear example of this
Pit does a good job of inlining and simplifying everything
Pbut that's what's taking the time
Lrange based for loop are great when the compiler actually lowers it reasonably
Ayup
Ait does not surprise me that rust's compiler doesn't
Mrust was a mistake
Ai would have been surprised if it did do it properly
Msilly goofy experimental language now used in production
Lso was iron and most types of material honestly
ANO-
ADON'T SAY THAT
AANGER
Ai am unfathomably angery at this statement
M"what if we made everything use a borrow checker?" statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged
Mthread safety by torturing the developer so much they decide to just make it single threaded
Athat is
Atrue
Ljust write faster code and you wont need to multithread
