How close can pure functional programming get to C?
A new essay by Richard Feldman explores whether pure functional programming languages can match C in performance and low-level control. The piece examines techniques like memory management strategies and compiler optimizations that functional languages could use to close the gap with C's speed and predictable behavior, a long-running debate among systems programmers.
Why now: Performance comparisons between functional languages and C are a perennial debate among developers interested in systems programming.
