It's probably doing the latter. The former sounds like sensationalism.

Good thing researchers don't correspond with each other by posting links to clickbait videos.
Instead, researchers are allowed to study all sorts of questionable things, like gain of function testing of Corona viruses...

It's been tried several times: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Consider that any lost songs discovered would be in a similar state: a work in progress demo recording. This "what if" should not be compared to a commercial release in terms of mastering quality, but if that's very important to you, agreed :).

That would be the Boston in

Most of what they've done seems to be rearchitecting, not getting a simple speed boost from using an unmanaged language. They're bypassing the OS to get more locality and cache retention. Those problems would not be addressed by merely rewriting in C++.

For one, they've replaced the OS network stack with an in-process one, where each thread gets its own NIC queue so they can have "zero-copy, zero-lock, and zero-context-switch[es]"

They're also keeping more data in memory and eschewing relying on the the OS file cache. It seems like they're taking every opportunity to use the in memory representation to avoid using sstables. They try harder than Cassandra to update instead of invalidate that cache on writes.

The fortune at the bottom of /. as I write this is

1. What problem does this language solve? How can I make it precise?
2. How can I show it solves this problem? How can I make it precise?
3. Is there another solution? Do other languages solve this problem? How? What are the advantages of my solution? of their solution? What are the disadvantages of my solution? of their solution?
4. How can I show that my solution cannot be expressed in some other language? That is, what is the unique property of my language which is lacking in others which enables a solution?
5. What parts of my language are essential to that unique property?

Pretty funny that you would bring up twitter, since they migrated from ruby to scala because of the very same issues brought up in this thread.

The Darwinia and Multiwinia code has also been available (for a price): http://store.introversion.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=66 , but this is the first I'm aware of the DEFCON code being released.

Actually you're not supposed to copy and paste the code. That would definitely not be the hard way. You are supposed to retype the examples yourself, just like back when books were print only.

Reminds me of this short
