    1. C compilers don't do a good job, & thus even CPython, which has historically stuck to rather vanilla C, uses computed goto, as described in https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2012/07/12/computed-goto-for-e...

    I resorted to similar techniques in optimizing Befunge: https://github.com/serprex/Befunge (See bejit.c & marsh.c/marsh.h)

    2. Rust enums are not variable sized, think of them as tagged C unions, where the Rust compiler can sometimes apply tricks to make Option> the same size as Vec

    3. match can specialize for straight forward cases, when in doubt use https://godbolt.org

  • Why asynchronous Rust doesn't work
    8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 13 Nov 2021
    I've found async to be straight forward anytime I've used it. Promise#then is equivalent to callbacks

    async/await often requires very little changes compared to synchronous code, whereas reworking a program into callbacks is much more impactful. & the async/await compilation process tends to produce better performance in addition to this. My first async/await work was a few years ago to increase a data importer's performance by an order of magnitude compared to the blocking code

    Here's an example where looping made for a callback that recursively called, using async/await I get to use a plain loop:

    before: https://github.com/serprex/Befunge/blob/946ea0024c4d87a1b75d...

    after: https://github.com/serprex/Befunge/blob/9677ddddb7a26b7a17dd...

    I don't see why people find it so complicated to separate begin-compute & wait-on-compute

    I've since rewritten a nodejs game server into rust, https://github.com/serprex/openEtG/tree/master/src/rs/server... handleget/handlews are quite straight forward

    You'll also find them used in CPython's ceval.c

  • Did any processor implement an integer square root instruction?

    For an example of binsearch algo, I recently dipped into this while switching some code from floats to fixed point arithmetic (reducing overall wasm blob size)

  • WebAssembly JSPI is going to origin trial
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 14 Mar 2024
    This seems pretty low level. When I wanted async wasm execution (to run multithreaded game ai simulation or to run game ai outside of UI thread) I was able to go with WebWorkers: https://github.com/serprex/openEtG/blob/master/src/AiWorker....

    Having the async at the WASM level would help avoid having overhead from serialize/deserialize between web workers. I wrote this years ago, so not sure what progress has been made for having the wasm module running multiple threads. On that front you may still be better off spawning multiple wasm modules

    https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-pack/pull/1089

    Very straight forward changes. Emailed Ashley about helping, no response

    Updates to wasm-bindgen shouldn't require a change to wasm-pack. It should expose ways to pass flags down & not have an explicit dependency on wasm-bindgen version

    While having a webpack plugin is nice, I since gave up on wasm-pack & added a build-wasm to my package.json's scripts: https://github.com/serprex/openEtG/commit/9997fb098d168920bb...

    This way if someone wants to contribute to openetg they don't need to install my wasm-pack fork

    Join us on the official Discord https://discord.gg/qAmfB8T and we can walk you through it. There is a spiritual successor to the game (https://etg.dek.im) and a revival of the game. There are also several methods to still play the original.
  • PC Deckbuilder, without micro transactions / DLCs, not roguelike

    Elements. Strictly speaking, this is a collectable card game (MtG style) rather than a true "deckbuilder" but otherwise it sounds exactly like what you are looking for. Heavy emphasis on creative out-of-match deckbuilding and one-off PvE matches. From what I can tell, I think the original game died with Flash, but it appears that fans created a substitute, which I haven't tried: https://etg.dek.im/
