I could be wrong, but it seems like it wouldn't be difficult to outperform these implementations with a similarly hacky C implementation. I expect that blog post in the coming days.
- phaemon 7y agoWhy wait?! Do your "Beating C with C" blog post and enjoy your HN fame!
- barbegal 7y agoIt's mentioned in the post https://github.com/expr-fi/fastlwc/ https://github.com/expr-fi/fastlwc/
- zopppo 7y agoAh, I didn't see that. Thanks!
- ajeetdsouza 7y agoHey, author here. You are absolutely right - Go would have a hard time outperforming finely tuned C. Rather, the article was more focused on exploring concurrency mechanisms in Go. The (admittedly clickbait) title was more of a reference to the articles before it than anything else. That said, I think you'll find this SIMD-enhanced wc interesting: https://github.com/expr-fi/fastlwc/ https://github.com/expr-fi/fastlwc/
