Products that do what An event loop for asyncio written in Rust does
actually, nothing special about this implementation. just another event loop written in rust for educational purposes and joy in tests it shows seamless migration from uvloop for my scraping framework https://github.com/BitingSnakes/silkworm with APIs (fastapi) it shows only one advantage: better p99, uvloop is faster about 10-20% in the synthetic run currently, i am forking on the win branch to give it windows support that uvloop lacks

I wrote a minimal traceroute(1) clone that leans on asynchrony to reduce the time spent tracing a route. Underneath, it uses ICMP to do its job. The plan is to add support for UDP tracing and a path maximum transmission unit discovery mechanism. Comments and suggestions are welcome!

Raw performance (the lack of) is always a contentious point for JavaScript, especially in our post-Moore era of computing. Node.js gets around this issue through extensive of use of native libraries and modules written in C, including the V8 JS engine itself. But as application developers, how do YOU create high performance functions? Write in C and run as a NAPI module? Write in Rust and run as a V8 wasm? Well, there is another (better and faster) way now! The SSVM is a fully featured WebAssembly VM that is optimized for server-side applications.…

Hi HN, We’ve all accepted the "Python tax"—you trade execution speed for developer happiness. But what if that trade-off was a thing of the past? I just came across BustAPI, and it’s basically a "cheat code" for Python web services. It’s not just another wrapper; it’s a hybrid engine that embeds a Rust (Actix-Web) core directly into the Python runtime. Is this the end of the "slow Python" era? The benchmarks are pretty shocking. I’d love to see someone stress-test this against a production-grade Go or Node.js setup. Repo: https://github.com/GrandpaEJ/BustAPI Benchmarks:…

Hey Everyone, I just ran a [rather silly] race between Puppeteer (JS), Playwright (Python) and Selenium (Python) to see which one would be fastest on a simple scrape (using Google Colab so you can also run it) Far from a comprehensive benchmark, this race is 100% free from advanced configurations, multi-threading or anything complicated. It just opens Wallapop (a second hand marketplace in Spain) and times how long it takes to extract the first 2000 results of a search. If you like this simple format, have any ideas on how to improve a race like this or have a strong urge to prove Ward…

Hi, over the past few months I've been working on this project: Numax is a small Rust runtime that does three things: it runs WebAssembly modules in a sandbox, has a built-in local key-value store, and syncs everything across nodes with CRDTs and gossip. Basically, you write a wasm module, run it on two machines, and they converge (I hope !). It's a decentralized system... I hope someone finds it interesting! There's a whitepaper I've put a lot into, and I think the code isn't bad either! I believe there's still room in this world for software that's fun and well made, and while building…

I found a serious bottleneck in Python binding of Wasmer and Wasmtime and I found a trick to make 25x faster. Then beat all that using NumPy.

I’ve been experimenting with building a Node.js HTTP framework using Rust + Hyper with N-Api. The project started as a fully synchronous server, but I recently patched it to support async (Tokio/Hyper). That change alone nearly doubled throughput in benchmarks. What’s different: * Built directly on Hyper, no heavy abstraction * napi glue for Node.js bindings * Minimal core (sync and async engines side-by-side) * Focused on raw performance, not plugins (yet) This is still experimental and not production-ready. I’d like feedback on: * Async API design — does it feel ergonomic? *…

The Asynchronous Programming in Rust by Carl Fredrik Samson has a chapter on implementing coroutines; however, unlike other chapters, it is x64-only. I tried to add the missing piece and ported it to AArch64. The post explains the key differences and references full source code.

Earlier this year, I took a month to reexamine my coding habits and rethink some past design choices. I hope to rewrite and improve my FOSS libraries this year, and I needed answers to a few questions first. Perhaps some of these questions will resonate with others in the community, too. - Are coroutines viable for high-performance work? - Should I use SIMD intrinsics for clarity or drop to assembly for easier library distribution? - Has hardware caught up with vectorized scatter/gather in AVX-512 & SVE? - How do secure enclaves & pointer tagging differ on Intel, Arm, & AMD? - What's…

I basically created this for another project I was working on and want a visually consistent track of changes to train a model against for web-app testing validation.
