PyPy for low-latency systems
Nice examples and graphs. What really confuses me is the definition of "low-latency" nowadays. The meaning suffers a slippery slope in recent years. It used to refer to a scale of microseconds at HFT shops, then it came to web request latency at a scale of milliseconds. Now every GC-based language claims they are "low-latency" because 90%/95%/99% GC stop is within 16.67ms/50ms/whatever. Therefore today some HFT developers invented words like "ultra-low latency"[0] to name their work.<p>[0]: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-low_latency_direct_market_access" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-low_latency_direct_marke...</a>
