Fantastic! I saw it the other day, excellent change. I am also looking forward to watching the talk, I am sure I'm going to learn some new tricks!

I'm currently dealing with dawn as well. We started with github.com/eliemichel/d... (used via github.com/eliemichel/W...), which provides binaries and also does a slightly leaner build of Dawn. Ironically, I have just decided to build Dawn myself today and ditch the binaries :)
GitHub - eliemichel/dawn-prebuilt: Only look at releases! This fork of Dawn is use to share precompiled artifacts until upstream shares official builds.

There are plenty of cases where Windows will actually stop you from deleting a file while it is in use. Try deleting a DLL that's loaded into a process, for example.
But to be very precise, the entire post shows that Windows doesn't actually stop you very much, so I also disagree with it :)

Removing the API isn't the only option. It could be marked deprecated, it could get an API upgrader. The upgrade wouldn't Remove the allocation, but it could clearly tell people "this is more expensive than you think."

That's sort of the thing: when you DO need it, then it's obvious that async/await is a *really* effective design.

Yes! The ability to just write a TODO frees up your mind to write the thing that actually matters today.

*completely unrelated to this*, but since this is an opportunity: I'm currently doing a bunch of work with OpenUSD! Thanks for your work on this!

Thanks! Yes, I think that point is totally debatable. I especially don't think it's *only* for executives. It's more a reminder that a lot of actions from executives really make sense when you see them through that lense (instead of "they are actually insane"). :)

I've updated the post to include your numbers for easier reference in future. (I had 4 people reach out about raddbg separately; felt right to make sure the numbers are somewhere you can link to.) Thanks again!

Thank you, that's excellent! Neat trick about sorting the floats. I've added a back link to your post for easier reference in future.

Nice, thank you! That's fantastic. Interesting to see the speed-up on O2 clang as well!
