magic-wormhole.rs VS CPython

Rust: https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole.rs (official)

I saw some time back that a productionalized attempt came out: https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole.rs

The one I mentioned was much more primitive, meant as a demo (you can look at the branches for different approaches): https://github.com/estebank/rusticwormhole

> Downloading 3GB of dependencies is not a thing that happens in the Rust ecosystem. Reality is orders of magnitude smaller than that.

Assuming they're talking about the built size of dependencies that are left lying around after cargo builds a binary, they're really not exaggerating by much. I have no difficulty of believing that there are Rust projects that leave 3GB+ of dependency bloat on your file system after you build them.

To take the last Rust project I built, magic-wormhole.rs [1], the source code I downloaded from Github was 1.6 MB. After running `cargo build --release`, the build directory is now 618 MB and there's another 179 MB in ~/.cargo, for a total of 800 MB used.

All this to build a little command line program that sends and receives files over the network over a simple protocol (build size 14 MB). God forbid I build something actually complicated written in Rust, like a text editor.

This is cool but it really should be using TCP. (You can do holepunching with TCP, check out https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole.rs/blob/master/src/transit.rs)

I'm contributing for some magic-wormhole issues, the book of rust-clippy , and exercism rust track ... Thank Almighty Allah.

I'm working on some issues in magic-wormhole.rs and still looking around for other projects.

Also, it is slightly outdated as it does not incorporate RFC9110 which renames some status codes which previously were WebDAV-only:

Hey Maxime!

> whereas AFAIK the Python JIT project was lead by a student.

I am definitely not leading the team! I am frankly unqualified to do so lol. The team is mostly led by Mark Shannon, who has 10+ years of compiler/static analysis experience as well. The only thing I initially led was the optimizer implementation for the JIT. The overall design to choose tracing, to use copy and patch, etc. were other people.

> However they decided to ignore my advice and go with their own unproven approach.

Your advice was very much appreciated and I definitely didn't ignore your advice. I just don't have much say over the initial architectural choices we make. We're slowly changing the JIT based on data, but it is an uphill battle like you said. If you're interested, it's slowly becoming more like lazy basic block versioning https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/128939

You did great work on YJIT, and I am quite thankful for that.

I started embedding Entelligence’s real-time AI reviewer directly in my IDE and immediately saw results. It’s like having a savvy teammate checking my code as I type. In fact, the makers of Entelligence boast that this IDE integration “helps you catch bugs and improve code quality instantly”. The AI flags issues and even suggests fixes before I commit to GitHub. Because it supports dozens of languages, I could use it across our whole stack (Python, JavaScript, Java, etc.). Using Entelligence, I routinely caught subtle logic and design flaws early, massively cutting down the number of defects slipping into code reviews or production.

https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/847d1c2cb4014f122df64.... i686 is Windows only. I see there's a warning about this later if you're unsupported and therefore a 0 case, but either this becomes an error later on or they softened the impact since I did this. Or I'm looking at the wrong check.

Still the same way I have told people for the past 10 years: go to https://www.python.org/ and have fun.

sorted() creates a copy. *Be careful, sorted() does shallow copy instead of deep copy as my issue.

downloaded it from ➡️ https://www.python.org. After installing, I typed python --version in Git Bash — and yes, Python 3.10 showed up.
