This was a lovely article. I only wish the author wouldn’t have kept switching units (between µs and ns) making it hard to scan the tables for comparison.

We know.

On a phone at normal reading distance, with the articles styling, it’s really hard to tell the difference between n and u without zooming, and the decimal points get lost - scanning the tables is hard.

They also switched from C to Rust halfway through the article, which was a bit jarring...

It looks like that was an addendum that was added later and also benchmarked against the original C version
