    I mean, that's the initial build.

    Here's my compile-edit-run cycle in https://ossia.io which is nearing 400kloc (with a free example of performance profiling, I haven't found anything like this whenever I had to profile python)

  • gumbo-parser

    Discontinued An HTML5 parsing library in pure C99

  • > A standards compliant HTML5 parser is at the bare minimum millions of lines of code.

    But https://github.com/google/gumbo-parser is only 34K lines?

  • NumPy

    The fundamental package for scientific computing with Python.

  • db-benchmark

    reproducible benchmark of database-like ops

  • Nim

    Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).

  • benchmarks

    Some benchmarks of different languages

  • According to these benchmarks, pure Python is about 100 times slower than C and other fast languages: https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks

  • 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.
