Zitat von "Gerd Stolpmann" <i...@gerd-stolpmann.de>:
[...]
(I remember Ocaml was #1
at the shootout a few years ago, faster than C.) So maybe a good
opportunity to post better Ocaml solutions there?
[...]
Yes I also remember that.
I hope that the new OCaml compilers did not
make OCaml lessperformance by enhancing other features.
And I don't realy think so.
But were the old code-snippets emoved, or what was going on,
that OCaml degraded that much?
From my experience - normally using ocamlc for most of my OCaml
programs - it's even fast enough with this bytecode.
If it will be not fast enough, I have an option as a joker:
compiling to native code. :)
Doing this is rather psychologically, as I like to have a potential
for enhancement. :)
If you really always need the best performance, of course compiling
to native code will be best choice.
But at lest for my work I have not found out really bottlenecks,
and always was faster than doing things in Perl or Python or so.
Learning OCaml IMHO does make sense in any case. :)
But be aware one big disadvantage: if you have learned Ocaml,
this may absolutely kill your motivation in learning other languages
afterwards.So,if you need some other languages for your job, learn
them first, and learn OCaml after this, for your pleasure.
But you may never have fun at work then, until your boss allows you to
use OCaml.
And this is not a joke, I mean it as I wrote it!
Ciao,
Oliver
