Domain languages /native speed

[u/nelson_fretty]

I know well the trade off between domain languages / efficiency compared with c / assembler

CPU / memory are fast enough for good enough performance but with memory supply issues I wondered if direction were going to be able develop better domain languages to break trade off.

modern compilation - reflection - macros - templates

languages like c should only be written by experts and or machines imo way too risky for domain users.

Eg in audio domain I want to write code fast enough for realtime have it expanded to low level code - using linked list/stack/heap/hash/midi etc

Instrument a as piano :
a.octave = + 2
a.root = g
a.feel = shuffle
a.scale = enigma
a.play(100)

I don’t want to manage memory / lifetime or use library
Ie I want the compiler to do the translation?

Is this reasonable or am I dreaming ? Do you think we need stronger reflection ie I probably need to work with ast at the moment.

Stop worrying about performance if you don't have concrete performance goals that you need to hit. Rust will be fine if you cooperate with the borrow checker

When he said he want performance but doesn't want to manage memory by self, rust was the first language came in my mind
