Comments by "Science Daemon" (@sciencedaemon) on "It's Really Just That Bad" video.

  1. He sounds dumb exaggerating this stupid issue. It's like he has never been confronted with real problems.

  2. That would never happen because almost no one in industry uses Fortran. Fortran is a scientific language mainly used in research.

  3.  @happyducky9872  meh, it could have all been summarized. There was no need for an hour over this screw up. This stuff is par for the course when you are investigating ideas in programming. There is nothing novel in it, no insight.

  4. @ try writing a comment that makes sense. People that program DIRECTLY in Fortran mostly work in research. Everyone already knows that python has to use other libs from C, etc. to do the heavy lifting.

  5.  @carltongannett  I already wrote that in my own comment on the video.

  6. Clojure is longer to say and beats Zig, Rust, and C for low LoC.

  10.  @testAccount-eb2ve  have a banana.

  11.  @Muskar2  And? Does that mean commentary can't point things out, because you perceive entertainment? Please use a better strawman argument next time so your lack of a real argument isn't so obvious. Would you also like to censor all opinions you disagree with?

  12.  @happyducky9872  Tl;DR too much rationalizing dribble for my logical brain.

  13. @ it's a crappy benchmark and very obvious. not something you waste all this time on, except to get clicks, likes, and yt dollars.

  14.  @brawldude2656 strawman argument. no one asked for it or needed it that is smart enough to figure it out.

  15.  @brawldude2656  you are equivocating, using some definition that is not the proper one because you are not smart.

  16. @ I explained why and you still can't understand. Read my comment, understand the words, think. Do you not understand what a logical fallacy is? You have the wrong meanings of ideas and are applying them as if true.

  17. A whole hour to cry about a poorly done benchmark. If you are the first one detecting this it might take you an hour. Then you can explain it in 5 minutes to others, not exaggerate it up to an hour. Also, it is accepted as fact that Fortran is faster than C, on average. Part of the reason is that you must be a good Fortran programmer who uses the proper functions specific to Fortran. Fortran was designed to be as fast as possible for scientific problems. It was not meant to be a general purpose language like C. You can't necessarily have a complete direct translation of code with C and must know where it needs changes. Even the assembly is telling you this, despite these guys claiming it is the same. Just as it is annoying to have bad benchmarks it is annoying to exaggerate them because you fail to understand the languages. FYI this Levenshtein (edit) distance is a similarity metric. The algorithm used doesn't seem, on first look, to be the most efficient. The problem involves using multiple arrays that are unnecessary. Chas Emerick came up with a single array solution (in Java) to be more efficient. He has a bunch of interesting algorithms, etc. and no surprise he has done a bunch of work in Clojure.
