Recompiling dll's and adding more during run time - what are my options? @DocBrown: you say "i am pretty sure embedding a C++ compiler like LLVM will be much slower" and then you say "to my experience, assumptions about performance without really measuring it are in 98% of all cases wrong". I guess LLVM is really faster than CSharpProvider given these 2 statements :-) |

Recompiling dll's and adding more during run time - what are my options? Well, I did the easy bit :) its up to you to read and understand the documentation. You can use derived types though. |

Strengthening code with possibly useless exception handling I refer you to The DailyWTF - are you sure you want to do this kind of testing? |

The best way of coding web system in term of performance @Anonymous - so can't he cache his IPB/PHP scripts too? That wasn't his question anyway - he said he wanted to "move to native coding", that question has nothing to do with PHP bytecode caching. |

The best way of coding web system in term of performance @Anonymous you're not going to get good performance by moving from a set of PHP scripts to a different set of PHP scripts. He says the learning time is not a factor here anyway. |

What to do as a Dev when for years their team has lacked product innovation, not used project mgmt methodologies, and kept bad Software Dev practices? practical advice, too many times devs think only in terms of the codebase and not in terms of the business, and miss a huge picture that makes up what we do and why we do it. |

Can C++ be used as a server-side web development language? @greyfade and remember, the more servers you need to run because your software is inefficient, the more power you have to pay for, and the more Co2 is created. Write in C++, save a tree dude :) |

Refactoring exception handling another example of something you shouldn't do simply because you can do it. Good answer to the question though. |

Why use a database instead of just saving your data to disk? Of course, "embedded" databases like sqlite and web storage blur the lines between using a DB and using a file, you have the ease of a file and the power of SQL all at the same time. I can't see the point of writing your own file-content read/write system when someone's already done it for you, and done it way better. |

Why use a database instead of just saving your data to disk? @Dokkat so you don;t use MySql or any other full-featured "server" style DB. You use Sqlite (or similar) and it will persist to disk every time, whilst giving you a DB embedded in your app (so no need for a separate install) and still giving you sql access, transactional integrity and disk persistence. |
