the first version of Porffor with Node compat is out!
- basics of tanstack start, nextjs, and more work
- passes >95% of Effect 4's test suite
- incredible memory efficiency (up to >10x!) but perf is worse. make it work, then make it fast :)
Over the past few days Discord's CTO has hinted at a big update: a rewrite of the desktop client that moves it away from Electron to a fully native client in Rust.
in the next version of Porffor: the basics of @tan_stack start, @nextjs, @nuxt_js, @sveltejs kit all work! to be upfront: performance is bad but improving and memory usage is up to 20x less!
after ~3.5 years, my from-scratch JS compiler can run big stuff! more thoughts below
NEW: We are short Cerebras Systems $CBRS. Cerebras claims to have solved wafer-scale chips. We believe otherwise: $CBRS wafers break down after just ~2 years in use - a lifespan that undermines the entire business. See full report and disclosures on our website, link in bio.
Damn @HarivanshRathi came here to cook 🚀
BAML compiles to both Rust and its custom BEX VM bytecode.
BAML used to be in the same league as Python when it comes to perf, but it's only a matter of time till it plays in the same league as Go⌛️
as a teenager i went to a fencing camp in rural poland where we stayed in an old soviet-style apartment building
when we first got there we plugged a power strip into the wall, which was immediately followed by a loud bang and the power going out in the entire building
You should be able to charge your phone from 0 to 100 in half a second but like sparks go everywhere and your lights flicker and it makes a really loud bang
I'm looking for companies to pilot Porffor (in production)! Good fit if you:
- have relatively small highly used pieces of JS
- really care about memory usage
- are willing to test, push boundaries, move fast
- are happy to co-write a blog post/case study :)
DMs open!
