I have always have a passion for software design best practices and how they lead to easier to maintain codebases. However, I watched a video that made me think of how those practices relate to performance; therefore, I decided to go deeper on the subject and see how it applies to other languages. Now, the goal is not to define a clear cut of what practices to use or when; I believe that depends on the project being build and the timeline for the development of that project and the business it impacts.
Here we keep track of what practices are being analized and in which language. Feel free to make a PR to add a new practice or language that you would like to see.
| Practice | C++ | Python | Rust | Go |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Polymorphism vs if statements | ||||
| Knowing the internals | ||||
| Size of functions |
