What “more modern” languages have you evaluated with respect to their overhead of calling C or assembly?
So Go comes at some overhead, what about Rust, Julia, Swift? These should come at zero overhead, as they use LLVM?
Vala? As it apparently is compiled ‘into’ C code, there shouldn’t be much overhead.
Dart? Apparently you can use SIMD in Dart somehow. Probably not when compiling into JavaScript though.
I have always been wondering what language to use for my next project; as I have always been hitting the limits of Java. Go and Rust have been two candidates to learn.
Note that while tzcnt is “new,†it is merely a variant of the good old bsf instruction with some extra behaviour. bsf was introduced with the 80386.

Swift can call C without overhead…

I don’t know about Julia and Rust.

Go can be learned quickly. So there is that.
Swift is more challenging but a lot of fun, and certainly more interesting than Java.
I don’t know a lot about Rust. Looked ok at a glance.

That’s true. The behavior is different if the input word is zero…
