  • ahsohtoa

    Structure-of-array synthesis in C++20

  • Since the article talks a bit about this part of DoD - plugging my C++ library for automatic conversion of AoS layout to SoA: https://github.com/celtera/ahsohtoa if it can be useful to anyone ; the entire code is pretty short and fully documented to explain the techniques used: https://github.com/celtera/ahsohtoa/blob/main/include/ahsoht...

  • llvm-project

    The LLVM Project is a collection of modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies. Note: the repository does not accept github pull requests at this moment. Please submit your patches at http://reviews.llvm.org. (by ricejasonf)

  • - Or you can lobby the committee to accept P1061 ; there's already a compiler implementation: https://github.com/ricejasonf/llvm-project/tree/ricejasonf/p...

    With it, the code becomes even simpler and would not need PFR at all ; a function such as

        std::size_t create()

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • aiosql

    Simple SQL in Python

  • I've been doing something in this vein for a big personal project, using this python library: https://nackjicholson.github.io/aiosql/.

    In short, I'm using a run of the mill stack (Caddy/Gunicorn/Flask/Postgres) - but with the twist that all my core logic is defined in plaintext SQL files, which get bound into namespaced Python methods by aiosql. Routing, error handling, templating, etc. are all done in Python - but all data manipulation and processing are outsourced to the DB level. All database object definitions are laid out in a massive, idempotent "init_db" method that gets called at launch, so I can essentially point the app at a fresh instance of Postgres and rebuild from scratch. The design is primarily driven by my personal distaste for ORMs, but I've found it extremely beneficial in terms of rigid typing, integrity checks, and performance.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
