1
Linus, do you follow any development of any new programming languages?
2
Do you see any language except C which is suitable for development of operating system?
3
So I have to say, I'm kind of old -fashioned and I'm really interested.
4
The reason I got into Linux or operating systems in the first place was I really love hardware.
5
I love tinkering with hardware.
6
Not in the sense that I'm a hardware person and giving me a soldering iron is a bad idea.
7
But I like interacting with hardware from a software perspective.
8
And I have yet to see a language that comes even close to C in that respect.
9
It's not just that C, you can use C to generate good code for hardware, it's that if you think like a computer,
10
writing C actually makes sense.
11
I mean, and I think the reason it works that way is the people who designed C
12
designed it at a time when you,
13
I mean, when compilers had to be simple and the language had to be kind of geared towards what the output was.
14
So when I read C, I know what the assembly language will look like, and that is That's something I care about.
15
I don't do a lot of programming myself anymore.
16
I'm a technical lead person.
17
I merge other people's code.
18
But if you go and look in the Linux Git history and look at what I do, the last few months, the kind of code I've changed,
19
I've made sure our file path lookup
20
takes as few cache misses as possible and all
21
that code is C
22
but in order to really be able to it's optimized at
23
the level where I worry about single instructions kind of thing and
24
especially single cache misses and I love doing that
25
because that's it's completely I mean to some degree people say you should not micro optimize
26
but if what you love is micro optimization that's what you should do
27
and we made sure our algorithms are good before we started the micro -optimization,
28
so I'm very proud of the fact that we look up path names way faster than anybody else, I guarantee it, right?
29
And we can do it in parallel on a thousand CPU machine with no contention.
30
I mean, that is something that has happened in the last 18 months, and that is impressive.
31
I mean, you don't know how impressive it is Until you've worked with that code for, I mean, I thought we'd never get there, but we're there now.
32
So that's the kind of thing that really.

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
