Why are we still compiling programs in 2018?
Aren't computers fast enough now to just run programs directly from source code?

no

What's a computer?

Zachary Morgan
They are.
But running them compiled is still faster.

Kiss Umi.
James Smith
just stop pls its not even funny
Justin Brown
Why choose the slower option just because you technically can?
Ryan Evans
What do you even mean? A compiler takes a user-friendly programming language and turns it into machine code. What does running programs from source code even mean?
Jacob Perry
He probably talks about using an interpreter
Aiden Powell
You used such a program to make this post.

He "probably" doesn't know what he's talking about

>Why are we still compiling programs in 2018?
Because that costs a significant amount of performance.
>Aren't computers fast enough now to just run programs directly from source code?
They always were, just significantly slower.
Just compare a python implementation of matrix vector multiplication with a BLAS one.
John Taylor
Some languages dont have to be compiled and use interpreters. What the fuck are you even talking about exactly? Don't have opinions until you at least half know what you are talking about

Because I like to fall asleep next to my screen glowing with compiling messages.
Is cozy.
Jordan Adams
imagine being as stupid as OP.
Do you think it hurts physically?
Logan Green
>Do you think it hurts physically?
I'd like to think so.

Behold the intelligence and computer savviness of the typical Jow Forums poster.
An absolute idiot with no particular in-depth knowledge about anything, asking a retarded question , accompanying the shitpost with a smug anime face.
never change Jow Forums

We were going in the right direction with Lisp machines, but then C came and doomed computing forever.
Liam Bennett
We do: its called "the web" or "Electron" and its awful. If you want to waste hundreds of megabytes of RAM on a chat client go ahead, but I didn't spend obscene amounts of money on DIMMs to piss it away on apps written by bay area hipsters.

They can, they're about 1/10th the speed
Oliver Wright

No, computers are like workers you need to hit him to work faster and faster and faster and faster and faster and faster and then you burn your cpu and buy another nigg- ekhm PC

Slow.
Hunter Flores
They can if you program in machinecode

Please for the love of god, fucking kill yourself.

Don't write shit code then
