In terms of raw performance, compiled languages like C, C++, and Rust are much faster than interpreted languages like PHP, Python, and Ruby.

The difference between compilation and interpretation is the difference between you reading the translation of a foreign book versus an interpreter reading each line in the original book and telling you its meaning in your language every time you want to read the book.

Java, Kotlin and Scala are somewhat in between in terms of speed. Code that gets called a lot gets compiled just in time.

Yeah. For example Lemmy backend is written purely in Rust and doesn’t use unsafe anywhere, but some lower-level library it uses probably does use unsafe for IO code.

That’s just like your spider, man.

But for now I’m enjoying the variety.

I haven’t used a PWA as regularly as i have wefwef, so I don’t know, but i read somewhere that the browser you use makes a difference.

Thanks for the context. I see why you would want to turn off the alerts. That’s definitely an irritating misuse of the system.

I’ll second http://wefwef.app. It follows iOS design but you can use it on any device that supports PWA including Android.
