This is a problem we have with the current page layout. We agree that these need to be clearly marked as ad, instead of legitimate sponsors.

Quite frankly, this is something new to us (ads paying enough to be there), so we're still figuring out.

Re:LavinMQ: Understanding code to get the best performance on Wednesday May 22, 2024 @11:03AM (#40441909)
Building LavinMQ in Crystal was an active choice, as maintaining control over the codebase was a high priority. A decade of learning has prioritized fast updates and easy bug fixes. At the same time, choosing Crystal provided the opportunity to enhance application performance.

It just requires the build tools. If you use scoop, that entails to:

> run `scoop install vs_2022_cpp_build_tools`

(from the "required libraries" link in https://crystal-lang.org/install/on_windows/)

Nice benchmark! It'd be great to test other Ruby implementations to compare. I'll try to find myself some time to do that.
