Dhi – 520x faster data validation for Python, 77x faster for TypeScript

Hi HN! I built dhi, a data validation library that uses Zig to compile to both native C (Python) and SIMD WASM (TypeScript). Key points: - Drop-in API compatibility with Pydantic (Python) and Zod (TypeScript) - Python: 24.9M validations/sec (520x faster than Pydantic V2) - TypeScript: up to 77x faster than Zod on invalid data - 28KB WASM bundle, zero JS runtime overhead I'd love feedback on the API surface, benchmarks, and real-world integration pain points. If you're curious, the repo has full benchmarks and examples.

    I made calling WebAssembly from Python 25x times Faster2023 · medium.com · ▲5

    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 built a 30x faster svelte-check in 2 days with AIJan 2026 · svelte-check-rs.vercel.app · ▲6

    I built a Rust drop-in replacement for svelte-check that's 10-30x faster for Svelte 5 projects. What it does: - Parses Svelte files with a custom Rust parser - Transforms them to TSX in parallel using Rayon - Runs type-checking via Microsoft's tsgo (the native Go port of TypeScript) - Maps errors back to original .svelte locations via source maps Why it's fast: The official svelte-check uses TypeScript's Language Service API optimized for IDEs with persistent connections. Great for autocomplete but slow for batch CLI checks. svelte-check-rs writes real TSX files to disk and runs tsgo as a…

    Bhumi–OSS Python Library w Rust Underhead for 2.5x Faster LLM Inference2025 · bhumi.trilok.ai · ▲8

    Read the full blogpost at https://rach.codes/blog/Introducing-Bhumi (click on reader to see the technical breakdown!) AI inference should be fast, but in practice it’s painfully slow. Inference bottlenecks slow down LLM-powered chatbots and AI workflows everywhere. I built Bhumi to fix that. Bhumi is a Python library designed for developers, yet its performance-critical core is implemented in Rust (via PyO3) for near-native speed. This hybrid approach delivers up to 2.5x faster response times across providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini—without changing the…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
