What a sick world.
Too bad you posted it two posts later, then - hopefully those folks cut
their eyes out right away..
If you are/have been working for some big companies, you should know the
policy. If I posted the code here, maybe I got blame:
How can you post a GPL-licensed code here?
There is an assumption that code you send to the dev list is a
contribution, and thereby a possibility that it may end up in a test
case for example. So we ask that you only contribute your own code, or
make it clear in the posting that the code is not a contribution.
See the monthly reminders sent to this list [1].
The code on the blog entry is indeed slower on Harmony. Harmony is
young,
and moving fast. Do we need to hide problem if there's a problem? I
think
the archive of this mailing list can be also searched by many search
engines. Shall we also forbid to use any 'bad' words here?
No - you must not have read my email.
But if you think the blog entry is not objective, it's another story.
The
code in the blog is indeed slower and it's deterministic.
In one month time it will probably (hopefully!) not be accurate, but
your blog entry will still be there, without any context - people will
find it, and wonder - "say, Harmony must suck really hard..". Which
probably is the sane thing to think, given that there is no context to
view the statement in.
I just wondered to add Harmony revision to the blog post, but since we're so
concerned about the "slow" and "immature" of Harmony, I deleted the evil
post.
I don't think you need to delete the blog entry, or that it is "evil".
We are as open about our problems as we are about our accomplishments.
I probably should stop repeating myself now.
I would not like to discuss this topic either. Sorry that my reproducible
test doesn't help DRVLM guys to tune the performance, but slanders Harmony.
We have lots of other more important things to do than finding out the
reason/purpose of a blog post of a Harmony contributor.
I see lots of evidence that the VM/JIT folk are interested in
world-class performance. I'm sure they would appreciate seeing a case
where there is room for improvement.
