Looking at my implementation for this ticket. I think I’m gonna need to tap the sign.

Hand on keyboard reaches out to set up a small backlit readerboard saying “LESS CODE” then taps the sign.

I tell you what, watching what Node does with the memory heap sure has bumped up my interest in Go and Rust.

The same JS code uses 8-45 MB of heap on independent runs over the same data depending on — I have no idea.

@dch This does not surprise me at all.

It’s not the amount, it’s the amount of variation. The Python Pandas solution I can’t use because wrong language is ~71 MB, but it’s within 1 MB of that on every run.

But still. Imagine the same task in Go / Rust / Crystal / not you java / Erlang / Red.
