On one hand there's forum.dlang.org, which is written in D and is fast and lightweight, on the other hand I heard many complaints that twitter and reddit web clients are heavy. Which one is better? | |||

If you set the trajectory then you secure the position of your own product. You have to look at that in conjunction with WebGL2: https://registry.khronos.org/webgl/specs/latest/2.0-compute/ This has no relevance for D though. WebGL 2.0 compute is dead. Google killed it by asserting they would rather focus on WebGPU instead. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1131991 | |||

I haven't benchmarked but I would expect that the fork() based GC can compete since it pauses only for the duration of the fork() system call. Everything else can be done concurrently. And, unlike MS Windows, Apple's iOS is based on Darwin (BSD) so I would assume that a fork() interface is present there, too.
