    That's not true at all. Case in point In general, this is not a problem that AGC can solve. The language can help (something Java is admittedly particularly bad at) but even so, there'll always be avenues for leaks. That's just the nature of shared things. Interestingly, in the linked grpc case, the leaked memory is only half the problem -- AGC doesn't help at all with the leaked HTTP2 connection.

    I've trialled my new image with an existing project via JLink that's heavy on Netty and gRPC the image works great (with a small tweak to exclude grpc-netty-shaded due to grpc-java#9083).
  • What are the user agents?

    When developing an application, the vast majority of code is written by other people. We import that code and make use of it to get whatever we need done. In this case, the developer of an various android applications are using grpc-java.
  • Buf raises $93M to deprecate REST/JSON
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 8 Dec 2021
    `proto_library` for building the `.bin` file from protos works great. Generating stubs/messages for "all" languages does not. Each language does not want to implement gRPC rules, the gRPC team does not want to implement rules for each language. Sort of a deadlock situation. For example:

    - C++: https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/bazel/cc_grpc_libra...

    - Python: https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/bazel/python_rules....

    - ObjC: https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/bazel/objc_grpc_lib...

    - Java: https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/blob/master/java_grpc_libr...

    - Go (different semantics than all of the other): https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_go/blob/master/proto/def...

    But there's also no real cohesion within the community. The biggest effort to date has been in https://github.com/stackb/rules_proto which integrates with gazelle.

    tl;dr: Low alignment results in diverging implementations that are complicated to understand for newcomers. Buff's approach is much more appealing as it's a "this is the one way to do the right thing" and having it just work by detecting `proto_library` and doing all of the linting/registry stuff automagically in CI would be fantastic.

  • grpc_bench: open-source, objective gRPC benchmark
    3 projects | /r/grpc | 20 Apr 2021
    Small clarification (to my understanding, I'm not a Java Guru) on why Java got on top - those Java implementations use something called Direct Executor. It's super performant when there's no chance of a blocking operation. But if you are to do anything more than echo service, you might be in trouble. Other implementations probably don't suffer from the same constraint. The related discussion can be found in this PR.

    If you do streaming then the best option would be to use a so called manual flow control. You can find an example here.

  • Java 16 EA Alpine & JLink vs Graal
    1 project | dev.to | 17 Jan 2021
    Both JLink (gRPC#3522) and Graal have some issues; I'm especially concerned about the Serial GC in Graal so will be putting that under some stress soon to see if that confirms my suspicions. I'll also be good when some Java 16 JRE Alpine images appear as the JDK is too bloaty.

    No.

    …and this one is no exception -> https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython/issues/1940

    Packages that rely on c dependencies like numpy, etc. only work if you write a custom implementation by hand; the “normal” package flat out doesn’t (and cannot) work.

    If you absolutely need something comparable to Sympy, then one option might be to figure out how to best call Sympy from Rust. e.g. - RustPython, although it seems like Sympy isn't supported yet - Pyodide, and figuring out how to run it outside of a web browser. Probably also not very easy. - PyPy, and having a pretty simple Python binary for every platform - ...
