capnproto-rust VS canary

The only hurdle I have is that while the documentation is extensive it is a little confusing in places and mainly focuses on C++ and the C++ RPC system which is a little different to the Rust code. There are Rust examples in the official repo which I will try and leverage here.

capnproto-rust is the official Rust implementation.

Hi, you seem to know a bit about Sanakirja!

It stores 4kb blobs, right? Does Pijul first parses the data (copying it to other allocations), or uses the data as is? I mean, there are some libraries like cap'n'proto[0] and rkyv[1] that can directly use the file contents as an in-memory data structure, I was wondering if Pijul did anything like that.

I mean, is this btree page [2] stored exactly like this on disk, and does Pijul exploits that to avoid further copying data?

(I guess there's a trouble with compression there: to decompress you really need to write in another buffer)

Also, is the I/O done with something that prevent userspace copies like mmap or io_uring, or does it eventually calls read() to copy the data to its own buffer?

I want to build something like Sanakirja, but with those features, so I'm wondering if there's any overlap.

June is a library based upon the canary crate that allows for creating remote actors with actix.

You could check out SRPC or Canary, although a new version will be released shortly which has tons of breaking changes (you can use the new version via canary = { git = “https://github.com/znx3p0/canary” })

Thanks for the heads-up! I'm renaming the project to Canary
