• Reaction to "1 billion nested loop iterations" (2024-12-05) https://x.com/cmuratori/status/1864546805150830878

This is not a useful "nested loop" benchmark as it warrants - it's actually an integer division benchmark. Can it give you a vague sense of how insane the looping overhead is in many modern languages? Sure. Can it actually tell you how good a reasonable language is at loops? It cannot. The reason for this is that the loop body consists entirely of a carried dependency on a modulus. This effectively limits the loop to scalar execution, and to several-cycle throughput.

Please stop creating microbenchmarks without analysis. If you haven't read the assembly for each run, you have no idea what you're actually benchmarking. This creates a lot of work for people like me who have to clean up the wave of misunderstandings. It is very frustrating.

They cannot be improved. This is not an appropriate use of microbenchmarking, full stop.

The point is that microbenchmarks test other things than what they claim, so without the analysis, you draw the wrong conclusion.

The entire exercise seems in bad faith.
