TIL that you can compress .zip files with Zstandard (pkware.cachefly.net/webdocs/case... compression method 93), and that libzip and 7-Zip support that.

Faster Reed-Solomon Erasure Coding in Java with Go & FFM
Backblaze’s Java-based Reed-Solomon Erasure Coding library is great tech, but comparatively slow. Let’s add some optimized Go, and get a whopping speedup.

IMO #golang is missing a clean way to send exact typed (and wrapped) errors across the wire between 2 similar binaries.
GOB would be ok, but registration isn't really feasible in big applications.

Finally a #golang SIMD proposal I can get behind in overall terms! <3 github.com/golang/go/is...
proposal: simd: architecture-specific SIMD intrinsics under a GOEXPERIMENT · Issue #73787 · golang/go
Proposal Details SIMD is crucial for achieving high performance in many modern workloads. While Go currently allows access to SIMD via hand-written assembly, this approach has significant drawbacks...

I with just released about 2 years of work on improving compression with a fixed encoding LZ77 style compressor for #golang
Our goal was to improve compression by combining and tweaking the best aspects of LZ4 and Snappy.
