compress VS pq

There's a pure-go zstd at https://github.com/klauspost/compress - it's likely faster than running the upstream zstd under Wazero.

It's no surprise that "fast" Go libraries are actually just assembly: https://github.com/klauspost/compress/blob/master/zstd/seqdec_amd64.s (just one file out of several, for just one architecture, for just one compression algorithm!)

There is a reasonably feature complete implementation of Zstd for Go: https://github.com/klauspost/compress/tree/master/zstd

It may not offer the same API 1:1, but it has no interoperability issues that I've encountered. So, I just think no one has bothered to implement it in Rust because most use cases don't mind the added bloat you're talking about. Plus, other comments I've seen suggest that you can actually tune the size of the zstd library, although I'm not sure if the Rust bindings expose that.

Thanks again for your review/comment!!! Btw, are you the author of this repo https://github.com/klauspost/compress because I love it!!!

I noticed Github returns "This page is taking too long to load" with status code 502 for https://github.com/klauspost/compress but rest of their urls works fine. Anyone know why would that be the case ?

Cloning the repo works perfectly well.

git clone https://github.com/klauspost/compress

Recent versions of zstd definitely don't obsolete LZ4, or else I don't think the author would still be contributing to both...

And if you're going to play with Snappy, you might find S2, which was linked on HN relatively recently, interesting. [1]

Compression method appears to be zstandard and uses https://github.com/klauspost/compress, for those wondering like I was.

OMG u/klauspost is this you? https://github.com/klauspost/compress/tree/master/s2

Following the completion of the series — Secure and performant full-stack authentication system using rust (actix-web) and sveltekit and Secure and performant full-stack authentication system using Python (Django) and SvelteKit — I felt I should keep the streak by building an equivalent system in PURE go with very minimal external dependencies. We won't use any fancy web framework apart from httprouter and other basic dependencies including a database driver (pq), and redis client. As usual, we'll be using SvelteKit at the front end, favouring JSDoc instead of TypeScript. The combination is ecstatic!

Go’s standard library was not built to include any specific database drivers. So we need to install a third party package. In this case we are going to install https://github.com/lib/pq. Run following command:

For Postgres the driver comes from "github.com/lib/pq" and then it is just "postgres".

With regards to 2. -- also, it looks like there's an important unfixed issue https://github.com/lib/pq/issues/939. I haven't verified whether the issue is up to date.

I am using the lib/pq driver. is there a driver that does allow for this syntax or is there something I can change?
