Abstract

You can't see, hear, taste, feel, or smell it, but software is everywhere around us. It underpins modern civilization even while consuming more energy, wealth, and time than it needs to and burping out a significant amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The software industry and the code it ships need to be much more efficient in order to minimize the emissions attributable to programs running in data centers and over transmission networks. Two approaches to software development featured in this issue can help us get there.

软件糟透了，但不必如此：如何制作更精简、更环保的软件

你看不到、听不到、尝不到、感觉不到或闻不到，但软件在我们身边无处不在。它支撑着现代文明，却消耗着比它所需更多的能源、财富和时间，并向大气层排放大量二氧化碳。软件产业及其代码需要提高效率，以尽量减少在数据中心和传输网络中运行的程序所产生的排放。本期介绍的两种软件开发方法可以帮助我们实现这一目标。
