A few people have mentioned the environmental angle, but I'd care more about if/how much this slows down decompression on the client. Compressing React 20x slower once is one thing, but 50 million decompressions being even 1% slow

This was something that surprised me about the Rust ecosystem, coming from Go. Even a mature Go project (e.g. some business' production web backend) may only have 10-20 dependencies including the transitive ones. As noted in this pos

FWIW, I use Helix as my main editor and every time it has crashed (probably a few dozen times over a year or two, I've filed issues), it's related to bad text position stuff, where it effectively goes "out of bounds" on

It's usually not concurrency FWIW, it's almost always algorithmic in nature. On a modern machine, even highly concurrent* code would only execute 10-20x as fast and you could just wait a bit. One common AoC trick is that you can b
