Io_uring for Ruby

In plain words

Io_uring for Ruby is a Ruby library that integrates Linux's io_uring interface into the language. It allows Ruby developers to perform high-performance asynchronous input/output operations on Linux systems. The library is designed for programmers building applications that require efficient handling of multiple concurrent I/O tasks. It stands out by bringing low-level kernel I/O capabilities to Ruby's ecosystem.

  Faster FastAPI with simdjson and io_uring on Linux 5.192023 · github.com · ▲290

  A few months ago, I benchmarked FastAPI on an i9 MacBook Pro. I couldn't believe my eyes. A primary REST endpoint to `sum` two integers took 6 milliseconds to evaluate. It is okay if you are targeting a server in another city, but it should be less when your client and server apps are running on the same machine. FastAPI would have bottleneck-ed the inference of our lightweight UForm neural networks recently trending on HN under the title "Beating OpenAI CLIP with 100x less data and compute". (Thank you all for the kind words!) So I wrote another library. It has been a while since I have…

  JUring – Java bindings for io_uring file I/O2025 · github.com · ▲20

  Hi HN! For the past few weeks, I've been working on bringing io_uring to Java. It started as an experiment, but slowly it became more than just that, and now trying to turn it into a proper library. After hearing talks about virtual threads and io_urings performance I wanted to build something that was faster than Java provides out of the box. I ended up creating two APIs: - A direct one that closely mirrors io_uring's behavior - A blocking one built with Virtual Threads in mind for remote files. This is the link to the project if you are interested…

  ut – Rust based CLI utilities for devs and IT2025 · github.com · ▲170

  Hey HN, I find myself reaching for tools like it-tools.tech or other random sites every now and then during development or debugging. So, I built a toolkit with a sane and simple CLI interface for most of those tools. For the curious and lazy, at the moment, ut has tools for, - Encoding: base64 (encode, decode), url (encode, decode) - Hashing: md5, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512 - Data Generation: uuid (v1, v3, v4, v5), token, lorem, random - Text Processing: case (lower, upper, camel, title, constant, header, sentence, snake), pretty-print, diff - Development Tools: calc, json…

  Talanoa▲340

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
