Languages

What programming language is best as far as speed and memory usage are concerned?

Machine code

Lisp

>>1
If you calculate the results yourself, then you won't need to use any memory at all!

I heard Java was good at this

>>5
At making you want to >>4? Yes. Yes, it is.

that's a trick question
the complexity is decisive

Optimizing for "speed and memory usage" implies that you're going to manage all the little fiddly optimization details yourself. Have fun spending months/years/decades of work before even getting your first executable going that does anything.

>>8
An expert programmer doesn't ask which language is the fastest or uses the least memory. And expert programmer just asks which language will waste the least amount of their time — counting both coding time and runtime.

>>8
-O3, motherfucker.

i doubt >>10 even knows what -O3 does.

>>1
You are very stupid.

i'd have to say Python, no other language comes close

c++

>>11
This is >>10. -O3 gives me an erection.

>>15
Cfag! Long time no read!

One word, ASM, thread over.

Perl is very good at using memory.

I wish. It's machine code.

step is a convenient idiom for the all too common for (i = value; i < constant; i += interval). It is far more efficient for compilers to recognize step(0, 32, 1) than the comparable for. step uses the counting register by default, so it will be even faster due to machine support of register looping.

I are epik.

Motherfucker do you use   a toy language   faggot gives a   shit about Lisp   on that site   that I had   second thoughts when   I found out   to be a   better programmer because   of it no   4chan is a   subscripted designation of   an element of   the list and   whose cdr is   a smaller list   containing the rest   like the actual   CSS HTML page   or file from.

He graduated from Berlin's Luisenstädtisches Gymnasium in 1889. He then studied mathematics, physics and philosophy at the universities of Berlin, Halle and Freiburg. He finished his doctorate in 1894 at the University of Berlin, awarded for a dissertation on the calculus of variations (Untersuchungen zur Variationsrechnung). Zermelo remained at the University of Berlin, where he was appointed assistant to Planck, under whose guidance he began to study hydrodynamics. In 1897, Zermelo went to Göttingen, at that time the leading centre for mathematical research in the world, where he completed his habilitation thesis in 1899.
