Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Use any web browser as GUI, with Zig in the back end and HTML5 in the front end
String parsing is negligible compared to the speed of the DOM which is glacially slow: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38835920
Come on, people, make an effort to learn how insanely fast computers are, and how insanely inefficient our software is.
String parsing can be done at gigabytes per second: https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson If you think that is the slowest operation in the browser, please find some resources that talk about what is actually happening in the browser?

Cray-1 performance vs. modern CPUs
Thanks for all the detailed information! That answers a bunch of my questions and the implementation of strlen is nice.
The instruction I was thinking of is pshufb. An example ‘weird’ use can be found for detecting white space in simdjson: https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/blob/24b44309fb52c3e2c5...
This works as follows:
1. Observe that each ascii whitespace character ends with a different nibble.
2. Make some vector of 16 bytes which has the white space character whose final nibble is the index of the byte, or some other character with a different final nibble from the byte (eg first element is space =0x20, next could be eg 0xff but not 0xf1 as that ends in the same nibble as index)
3. For each block where you want to find white space, compute pcmpeqb(pshufb(whitespace, input), input). The rules of pshufb mean (a) non-ascii (ie bit 7 set) characters go to 0 so will compare false, (b) other characters are replaced with an element of whitespace according to their last nibble so will compare equal only if they are that whitespace character.
I’m not sure how easy it would be to do such tricks with vgather.vv. In particular, the length of the input doesn’t matter (could be longer) but the length of white space must be 16 bytes. I’m not sure how the whole vlen stuff interacts with tricks like this where you (a) require certain fixed lengths and (b) may have different lengths for tables and input vectors. (and indeed there might just be better ways, eg you could imagine an operation with a 256-bit register where you permute some vector of bytes by sign-extending the nth bit of the 256-bit register into the result where the input byte is n).

Codebases to read
Additionally, if you like low level stuff, check out libfmt (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt) - not a big project, not difficult to understand. Or something like simdjson (https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson).

Building a high performance JSON parser
Everything you said is totally reasonable. I'm a big fan of napkin math and theoretical upper bounds on performance.
simdjson (https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson) claims to fully parse JSON on the order of 3 GB/sec. Which is faster than OP's Go whitespace parsing! These tests are running on different hardware so it's not apples-to-apples.
The phrase "cannot go faster than this" is just begging for a "well ackshully". Which I hate to do. But the fact that there is an existence proof of Problem A running faster in C++ SIMD than OP's Probably B scalar Go is quite interesting and worth calling out imho. But I admit it doesn't change the rest of the post.
The walkthrough is very nice, how to do this if you're going to do it.
If you're going for pure performance in a production environment you might take a look at Daniel Lemire's work: https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson. Or the MinIO port of it to Go: https://github.com/minio/simdjson-go.

New package : lspce - a simple LSP Client for Emacs
I have same question as /u/JDRiverRun : how do you deal with JSON, do you parse json on Rust side or on Emacs side. I see that you are requiring json.el in your lspce.el, but I haven't looked through entire file carefully. If you parse on Rust side, do you use simdjson (there are at least two Rust bindings to it)? If yes, what are your impressions, experiences compared to more "standard" json library?

Any fresh jvm21 benchmarks ?
I expect a lot of transcoders will be rewritten when the Vector instructions land. You can see speedups when used in other languages, such as simdjson. Please try to be more thoughtful and not disregard other people's hard work so easily.

Has Boost lost its charm?
They might have good luck with https://github.com/beached/daw_json_link it has support for stuff like JSON lines and alike plus other ways that only use as much ram as their underlying data structures do as it parses directly to the user DS. Plus it has an iterator/range interface for things like arrays if needed.

New, fastest JSON library for C++20
We will add more benchmarks in the future, but for now you can see the comparison of daw_json_link with rapidjson. glaze is faster than daw_json_link, which is over twice as fast as rapidjson.

What are some cool modern libraries you enjoy using?
I am biased, but prefer https://github.com/beached/daw_json_link Super fast and you work with your native data structures without the overhead of DOM parsing/lookup

How to deserialise json into a C++ struct?
You can also look into https://github.com/beached/daw_json_link which claims to support nullable values in the readme.

JSON for Modern C++ 3.11.0
The library I author does this. https://github.com/beached/daw_json_link . It's fast, GB/s too, and provides the mapping mechanism, iteration types, json lines support, event based parser, along with a non-owning json_value for when the mappings don't fit right or if one is querying. Pretty much everything but an owning JSON value as it's not something I've ever needed more than temporarily and brings a lot of complexity that is solved by using the actual C++ data structures one is eventually parsing into anyways.
Unless you need to be very specific about the error handling, I believe that probably something like this would better serve your purpose and requires you less boilerplate.

DAW JSON Link v3, a JSON serialization/deserialization library, is released
So DAW JSON Link does have a DOM view, however it does not have a owning view. The json_value(even supports JSON Path in a limited form) type and json_raw mappings can help here. But there is no hard line between parsing view the json_value and the mappings to concrete data structures. One can mix and match.
