There will be higher-level abstractions. Will those abstract transactions be SQL transactions? I think not. As an interpreted language, SQL carries a performance overhead. That really didn't matter when you accessed data on rotating harddisks. It is unaffordable however when accessing data in RAM. | |
| Feb 26, 2018 at 15:22 | comment | added | Konrad Rudolph | @MSalters Aren’t we on a completely different layer here though? Hardware TM is all nice and well but does it work with complex memory access patterns? How easy is controlling it in high-level languages (caveat: I know virtually nothing about hardware TM, these are genuine questions)? | |

| Feb 26, 2018 at 13:56 | comment | added | Konrad Rudolph | @nocomprende So you’re saying that he’s the victim of a race condition? Well, oops. He could have avoided that by using SQL transactions. | |

| Feb 26, 2018 at 13:36 | comment | added | user251748 | It is a word order issue. Actually this was originally a telegram: USING SQL STOP | |
| Feb 26, 2018 at 13:31 | comment | added | Doc Brown | "STOP USING SQL" (cited from the first link) sounds very much like he is saying not to use SQL, to my understanding. | |
