A huge thanks to everybody who worked on Racket.
IO improvements will surely make everybody’s life a little better in my team and the whole studio. We’re relying on large (200MB text files), and numerous (in the 100,000’s) file reads and writes daily. We’re converting shell scripts to Racket and I recon it’s hard to beat some GNU command’s optimizations. I have been tempted to try Rust but a) it’s not guaranteed to perform better for pure IO, and b) I’d rather code it directly in macro-asm if it meant better speed. But so far, Racket’s performance has been more than adequate for our tasks, and thanks to this I can do it all in Racket. That puts a big, gleeful smile on my face.

Is it mild overall performance improvement, or are there cases where there can be a big boost? (Like "previous bottlenecks have become highways" kind of improvement) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
