I spent a few days brute forcing tables before I came across your repo and it finally clicked what was actually going on; thank you so much!

Would this require using the WASIX libc? I didn’t spend much time on it, but when I attempted to use it the build started failing in mysterious ways - happy to open an issue on the relevant repo with a reproduction / notes on what I th

You cannot today build anything on the Blead of Perl with perlcc. Support has languished because the language changed fast enough that it never kept up. It may be used in the industry, but for a modern Perl application (or anything past 5.1

I’m not sure where you got the idea it’s slow, but it executes within 30% of native speed. Which means extracting the metadata from a 30 GB pro video in my test takes 300-400ms. Speaking of - libexif doesn’t support a lot of file formats, w

Cloudflare actually uses workerd which is a V8 isolate (which does support WASM with a lot of caveats.)

Author here: it wouldn't have been. Sure, it would be nice to have a native version, but that is a lifelong maintenance burden, and ExifTool is already the best at what it does and stays up-to-date with file format changes. By completi

In its current state it’s mostly just something fun to toy around with if you’re interested in game engine development; once it’s more mature I’ll probably ship a game on it. I have POC multi-player setup where you can telnet to a box and j

Looks neat. Bebop is licensed under Apache 2.0, not GPL and doesn’t require a commercial license to use for profit. And I can tell the C# code it generates is going to be plagued by vtable lookups. Some decent ideas though.

Apologies if my initial comment came off the wrong way; when I say “not alternatives” I was injecting bias into that statement since I normally use Cap’n Proto on embedded and memory constrained systems (amazing library btw.) When I created

you get forward and backwards compatibility out of the box so long as you adhere to the schema guidelines. The docs go into more detail on how different types are handled. We also have some special features like “binary schema” which let yo

Cap’n Proto and Flatbuffers are not alternatives to Protocol Buffers. They solve entirely different issues and have distinct limitations. They aren’t relevant to what Bebop is doing and thus no benchmark or comparison can be made between th

They were never particularly all that fast, especially not in the browser where support is far from acceptable. Most implementations rely on runtime magic, reflection, and other hacks. So in that sense they aren’t all that modern as they’ve

You can. I use it to persist settings in my app Borderless Gaming https://github.com/Codeusa/Borderless-Gaming I’m also working on a textual configuration language that allowa you to import a schema and define data lik

If we’re talking specifically about C# binary serialization I’d recommend checking out this independent benchmark another developer did comparing Bebop to everything else https://youtu.be/XMoNYQPi2k8?feature=shared

We don’t benchmark against FlatBuffers or Cap'n Proto for a few reasons: - They are impossible to benchmark against each other without making an assumption about how often you want to access the data, and which parts of it you want to
