[00:05:48] So that silly function I wrote: https://www.wikifunctions.org/view/he/Z18784 [00:06:02] I'm clicking "details" next to the tests at its implementation pages. [00:06:46] CPU usage and memory usage are roughly the same in JS and Python, but the "Duration" is consistently shorter in JS. [00:07:25] Is it just this function at this time? Or does JS consistently take less time everywhere? Has anyone checked? [04:25:49] Yes, that is consistently true for comparable implementations in the two languages. (re @amire80: Is it just this function at this time? Or does JS consistently take less time everywhere? Has anyone checked?) [14:22:06] Curious. So is there a reason to use Python? :) [14:22:21] (Other than, I don't know, liking the syntax more.) [15:44:27] That's the main reason as far as I understand. Like one of my Computer Science teachers said once "If you don't care about big O notation and efficiency and time, you all learned python, so you can do pretty much anything you want with it, but we're trying to make you engineers so you have to care" (re @amire80: (Other than, I don't know, liking the syntax more.)) [15:46:06] But python is, in my experience, the most beginner friendly language. Everything weird is accounted for and you don't have to pay attention to them, like the most frequent example is garbage collection. It's more time-efficient if you handle it yourself I think, but it also requires more effort and knowledge [15:47:28] For something like Wikifunctions, I would think it to be the best to have Python as one of the most important implementations, because the code is "pure" in some ways, the only thing you see is the implementation itself and not other stuff like low level requirements [15:48:00] And also, it should probably have a C++ implementation, because that's very low level and not as complicated as Assembly, but very close to it nonetheless [17:04:21] Also, having more programming languages means more people can contribute. If it is too inefficient, someone else can translate it to another, more efficient language. [23:46:10] A quick question for whoever sees this. [23:46:57] If you go to the page https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/User:Amire80/stuff and check the target of the only link in the "Russian" section - what is the full URL? [23:47:32] (Oh, and it will be very useful if can also tell me which language do you use as your user interface language.) [23:48:52] https://www.wikifunctions.org/view/he/Z18784, I use English as my interface language [23:52:14] same [23:53:10] Looks like Wikifunctions caches the editing user's selected user interface language. [23:54:48] Am I the first one who notices it? And am I the only one who thinks that it's a bit of a privacy problem?
