There was a paper published in 2022 that was highly critical of using in a database management system. I wrote a lot about it on twitter back then, but have collected it all into a blog post now. tl;dr the paper is full of crap.

Love this commentary - #MongoDB "notorious for losing data if a gnat sneezed in the server room." #mmap #lmdb http://ace.mu.nu/archives/408283.php

HackerNews is really hacker-wannabe trash. These folks are hopeless. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39351257

I’m starting a new project to learn about linkers. It’s called ˋweld`, and it lives here https://github.com/Hywan/weld.

I do this on my free time; understand very sporadically.

This toot is a thread to show progress or to ask help.

To be able to link many object files, we must be able to read them! Of course, there is std::fs, but we want to be fast right? So let's use mmap.

Oh, it's not available everywhere. So let's use a file picker, don't you mind, which will select the best implementation for your platform.

And here is weld-file, https://github.com/Hywan/weld/compare/7556abeb5d80f015e92634d8b9a6c1494e815b9e...f19d8bae61ef61c443d974bcf3d0a3101a69e7b3.

So far, it supports std::fs and mmap, more is coming

There is a FileReader trait, that reads the content async.
