No, just download the source and check. It's 14M C/C++ and 4M in Rust. There is another 3.3M in Go and 1.1 in Dart. This is a usual trope that Rust is just about to replace C++ but in fact more and more gets written in C++. curl -

fmt is one the best libraries to come out of modern C++. Safety, performance, ease of use, versatility. Something every library should aspire to.

Congrats. Will check it out. What is special about your parser? Any high level design/architecture decisions that you can share? From your graphs, it seems to perform much better than simdjson which seems to be SOA in C++ land.

So, Zngur allows you to use arbitrary Rust types in C++, store them by value in the C++ stack, and call arbitrary Rust methods and functions on them. But it doesn't bridge any C++ type into Rust, since it is not possible with the

"C++ Concurrency in Action" by Anthony Williams is solid. Make sure you get the second edition, it is updated for C++17. https://www.amazon.com/C-Concurrency-Action-Anthony-Williams...

Daniel Lemire has been doing some outstanding work with modern C++/architectures and string processing. Really opened my eyes on how much processing power is left on the table.

You will be shooting yourself in the foot. Stick to C++ or C#. Trying to learn to write your own 2D engine is hard enough, pairing it with a complicated language like Rust (which you have no experience) is a recipe for extreme frustration.

Cool project. How does it compare to the actual JVM performance wise?

Speaking of Linux Kernel - how much Rust has made it into the source? I think close to zero. Most of the companies that are 'interested' are just doing marketing gimmicks to attract younger talent but the reality is most of the wo

Seems to be a "pattern" in AI for weather forecasting -- 1. Due to AI hype and funding (even predecessor hype cycles like "big data", ML, even GOF time-series statistics), generate 100s of AI models. 2. Of these, a

The github repo was updated just 5 days back. Not sure what the state was previously, so not much discussion.

You can always created a faster sort algorithm than STL if you specialize for data structures and access patterns.

The contrarian point is everything that can be moved to the cloud and browser has done so and the growth rate will only decline. Slow "GDP" type growth rate. Most of things that are poised to take off in a dramatic way - like clou

Have you tried vcpkg on msft (work on linux and mac too btw)? I found it to be much better than pip3 and venv nonsense.

this confirms the statement that exceptions should be used for exceptional situations — at least when you are concerned with performance Yeah, saying exceptions are slow is kinda missing the point. If your code is full of exceptions

No. All the core libraries in HPC/Machine learnings have native C++ (or C) underneath. This will continue to be the case for at least another decade as the investment needed to rewrite is massive (FORTRAN still exists!). If you want to

The better analogy is the massive investment in fiber optic cable in the late 90s. All the companies in that line (Global Crossing, Worldcom etc.) went bust after investing 10s of billions but the capacity was useful (with a >90% drop in

LOL, you just outed yourself as a smug Lisp weenie. Utter confidence is absence of any evidence. The obvious glaring difference is RDMS utterly dominate the database space something Lisp doesn't even come close to.

Really happy to see progress in C++ libraries. So many hardware improvements over the last decade that need a good interface to boost performance.
