John Carmack on the Goose Language: multiple data stacks and relative references
John Carmack and other developers discuss the technical merits of the Goose programming language, focusing on its memory management and data structure efficiency. The conversation highlights how Goose utilizes multiple data stacks and relative references to improve performance over traditional C++ or Rust approaches.
Why it matters
Efficient memory management and parsing are critical for high-performance computing and network data processing, which are bottlenecks in modern software development.
John Carmack on X: "That looks really neat! The automatic analysis and use of multiple data stacks and resizable fields takes it from "lots of work can be done this way" to "basically everything can be".
The relative references and built in binary structure validation also enable direct memory map… / X
The relative references and built in binary structure validation also enable direct memory mapping of data structures and immediate use of network data. "Parsing" file and network data is often 100x slower than it needs to be."
