- @Sjoerd Isn't it quite a contrasting answer from the others? I've attempted to design implicit libraries so it's coming from firsthand experience, and my answer seems to be on a very different wavelength from most. It's specifically about the performance gotchas you can encounter trying to design and implement these implicit optimizations. The angle of my answer is specifically that even the attempts to implicitly optimize can backfire, because the conditions under which such optimizations should be applied are not so easy to determine.user204677– user2046772018-01-29 16:56:58 +00:00Commented Jan 29, 2018 at 16:56
- @Sjoerd I'll edit it to try to really focus on the unique angle from a library implementer's standpoint!user204677– user2046772018-01-29 17:04:44 +00:00Commented Jan 29, 2018 at 17:04

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
