Yeah, I got the joke, and understood the parser. It's just, the content length : content ratio is high - all I got out of it was you don't like the Mojo speed

Yeah, I got the joke, and understood the parser.
It's just, the content length : content ratio is high - all I got out of it was you don't like the Mojo speed claim & genomics parsing is text parsing*
Don't take that the wrong way, I feel bad. It's just bad for me - I'm a mobile developer, so I was way out of my domain, I've barely written Python, Julia is a complete abstraction to me outside of HN. An alternative way to think about it is, I shouldn't have expected an in-depth analysis of Mojo.
* i mean, everything is bytes parsing, but it always tickles me when I find out other domains aren't castles in the sky, speaking an alien language
- jakobnissen 3y agoI yeah I get that. If you were expecting a review of Mojo, then the post falls short. Maybe the title should have emphasized the benchmark as being in question, not Mojo itself.
- disgruntledphd2 3y agoI'm a data scientist, not a bioinformatician and I really enjoyed the post. I too am sceptical of Mojo though, so maybe it just played to my biases...
