Optimizing Benchpress

[PitaJ]

Recently, I saw the release of nom v6 and decided I wanted to try it out, and see if I could speed up my hobby JS template compiler, BenchpressJS.

@volanar Interesting article. Thanks for the share. Hope the dev heads find time to ponder it a bit. I do not code but have been around coders for decades and seen a lot of stuff come and go. Also seen various devs prognosticate about this or that latest and greatest new thing. Lots (most?) of which misses. Not having a "dog in the fight" kind of "tuned my antenna". I had a suspicion rust was going to become a "really big shoe" but I sure never saw it expanding to web programming. Will wonders never cease?

@volanar Are you saying we should build RustBB?

Benchpress is already built on rust, actually.

No, I just shared the article. Maybe in the future in the nodebb there will be other libraries on rust, not just benchpress. Although rustbb is very cool

Looks like lemmy developers are trying to do it based on their platform
