Even game designers hate assembly

When updating 10,000 objects at 60 FPS,
everything is performance-sensitive

But:
–
Productivity is just as important
–
Will gladly sacrifice 10% of our performance
for 10% higher productivity
–
We never use assembly language

Cudder, face it, you're a dying breed. Soon there will be no more than 10 people in the world who write assembly by hand.

Hahaha, look at those Haskell idiots, look at them and laugh!

This isn't your worst problem.

When I worked on packaging Haskell for Gentoo we had special support for GHC on machines with less than 512mb. You need a special build of GHC that does not use "split objects" for its .a files (think libHSbase-4.8.a), otherwise just linking your program will cause ld to take too much memory and invoke the OOM killer.

As others have said, if you're building for a cheap VPS or similar, the better approach is to build on a more powerful machine and just deploy the final binary to the target machine.
