Did some weightlifting in my Mojo socks today.
Achieved 20% of SOTA performance.
Was I wearing my socks in debug mode?

Working on default values for fields in Dagr. Turned out to be a much deeper rabbit hole than I expected.
Formats like ProtoBuff and FlatBuffer allow users to define default values in schema and then do not store the values in the binary if they are equal to default values.

I’m in the associated array rabbit hole again. Implemented a StringDict where the key is a String. This restriction allows for compact key storage but that makes compression upon deletion expensive. But who deletes an entry in a dictionary? Am I right? 😄

I am genuinely surprised to see that GraphQL does not support forward compatibility.
Meaning an old server will error out when a new client sends it a query which it can’t validate due to schema evolution, like for example an addition of an optional field on a type.

🔥 Started experimenting with JSON parser written in Mojo again.
The idea is to have a lazy parser, which stores only slices of original string. Value materialization happens only on demand.
Current example 26MB file, array (3819 entries) of nested objects.

I am currently listening to the audio book Nexus by Yuval Noah Harari.
Lots of thoughts provoking stuff.
For example, he states that bureaucracy was born as a solution for information retrieval. 🤯
Never thought about it this way.

Finish Red Dead Redemption yesterday. That was a nice and long story. Fun fact I bought the game couple of years back and stoped playing after a couple of hours as the game play felt quite slow to me. But this year I picked up again started from the beginning and really liked it.

Hey #dataBS I am thinking about implementing a schema-less random access binary serialization format, a superset of JSON with some additions like typed tuples, tensor (multi dimensional array) and other goodies. What language should I pick for the reference implementation? And which are a must have?

Martin Duden created a small Dictionary Benchmark. My compact Dict implementation in Mojo seems to do quite well in this benchmark. Almost 2x faster than Rust HashMap 🤷♂️.
