Glad to see people working on this, but I really wish the maintainers would change its name - RustFS just seems way too confusing and generic a name for an S3-compatible storage layer.

At least some of it is clearly intentional - I am just wondering if someone at Amazon with a throw-away account wants to explain it to the rest of us..

"This new protocol could've been ASN.1..." - as happens all too often after a project (even as successful as Redis) has to fully grapple with types and forward/backward-compatibility.

The thing you're suggesting makes sense, but it's far more efficient to do in hardware. You might say that you could do it on one of the many cores available on your modern processor, but it turns out that synchronizing them to yo

Exactly, and it's not just register allocatio: but for many languages also addign proper typing, some basic data flow optimization, some constant folding, and a few other things that can be done fairly quickly, without the full set of

Good read. But a word of caution - the "JIT vs interpreter" comparisons often favor the interpreter when the JIT is inplemented as more-or-less simple inlining of the interpreter code. (Here called "copy-and-patch" but a

How does having more namespaces address the other half of the issue, of having multiple incomplete ffmpeg crates and having to decide which one to use and to support?

This is a short and well-articulated proposal about improving Rust crates (library) management, not what one would expect from the title. While the exact mechanism may not be the right one, I think this is a worthwhile discussion that ultim

Exactly right - the data-first (or contract-first for APIs) is a better abstraction barrier than object-first (or data + code mixed together). Most query languages respect this, and when they do not, it usually ends up being a dead end. Tha

Correct - I made this point in my comment earlier - a bit part of this is the difference between DOP and OOP, and how similar technologies can be used for either style of integration. (SOAP is one of them that I have a lot of experience wit

Having spent quite a bit of time on this in the past, a few things: 1. there has not been enough adoption of Data Oriented Programming (DOP) vs OOP, and how things like COM or CORBA (RPC essentially) are different than loosely-coupled REST

Nothing to do with the content, but not sure there's not reason - it seems a lot of responsive websites are low density and poorly formatted on desktop just so it is mobile-first. Just based on observations, doesn't seem like it&#

OP here - yes, something didn't work with dup detection?, this one was submited days ago, before then one you linked and both ended up on the front page. Certainly not intentional.
