alchemy VS common_comments

1) This was started years ago back when SwiftUI had, frankly, a mountain of problems. I originally did the seeds of this work when building out Alchemy, a React clone for cross-platform apps in Rust. I sunset that project due to personal issues in my life at the time (relative dying) which had destroyed my motivation/time. I ultimately chose to extract the codebase and make cacao since it filled a necessary niche in the ecosystem.

Ah, yes - though I think we're still ultimately after the same thing. Cacao, while it tries to unify AppKit/UIKit APIs, more or less treats UIKit APIs as the "blessed" ones. A good example is the ListView component, which pretty much limits an NSTableView to the style and such that you'd find over on UITableView. cacao just has more working AppKit code due to it being originally the basis for alchemy.

Oh cool! Glad to hear it - I experimented with VDOM stuff long ago back in alchemy and considered returning to it at some point, but if someone else does it... well, it'd be hella cool.

Sorry for delay, cardano, ethereum. Updated the script to use a larger sample size between original post and these pics, so these ones were done with 50 posts instead of 10.

Writing common_comments in rust (again). I initially wrote it in rust, wasn’t sure how to proceed with getting phrase counts instead of word counts so wrote it in Python instead. Except.. the python executes instantly, the rust version took 4 minutes to run. I’ll be finding out what I was doing wrong, so I can correct it, and hopefully execute faster than the python equivalent.
