In plain words

A Lock- and Wait-Free Hashtable is a C library providing concurrent data structures designed for multi-threaded applications. It offers both a hashtable and an array implementation that operate without locks or wait mechanisms, allowing threads to access data simultaneously without blocking. The project is hosted on GitHub and targets developers who need high-performance concurrent data structures for systems programming or applications requiring efficient parallel access patterns.

    Long-simmering side project that is finally ready to see the light. HAMTs are a cool persistent data structure and implementing one has been a lot of fun. Beyond the code, there is likely some value in the extensive and largely complete implementation docs; basic benchmarks are linked in the README, too. Kind of aiming to be "the libavl for HAMTs". That is obviously a high and aspirational bar but a distinct possibility if it stirs up a little interest and/or contribution. Anyways, it's time for this to go out, collect feedback and maybe even some use outside of toy projects. Let me…
