Comment on Smalltalk simplicity and consistency vs. other languages (2022) [video]parent

Yes, it is obvious that you don’t understand. Not sure how that is possible, but here we are.

Your claim that Smalltalk is somehow more difficult to optimize than JS or Self is patently false.

The fact that you get different results from large teams of super smart people with virtually unlimited resources than from small bands of volunteers is in no way contradicted by individuals making breakthroughs. Those individuals often work at those multi-trillion companies.

Using either SOM or Squeak/Pharo as comparisons for VM performance is ridiculous.

‘Nuff said.

I don't feed trolls, I'm out.
