    I built a CSV parser to try Go 1.26's new SIMD package▲8

    Hey HN, A CSV parser using Go 1.26's experimental simd/archsimd package. I wanted to see what the new SIMD API looks like in practice. CSV parsing is mostly "find these bytes in a buffer"—load 64 bytes, compare, get a bitmask of positions. The interesting part was handling chunk boundaries correctly (quotes and line endings can split across chunks). - Drop-in replacement for encoding/csv - ~20% faster for unquoted data on AVX-512 - Quoted data is slower (still optimizing) - Scalar fallback for non-AVX-512 Requires GOEXPERIMENT=simd.…

    I built an "ilovepdf" for CSV files (and I called it ILoveCSV)▲5

    We often find ourselves waiting for Excel just to do simple tasks like merging two CSVs, checking for duplicates, or converting a PDF table to CSV. Thus, I built ilovecsv.net. It's a suite of 30+ free tools that run in your browser.
