From one noob to another: Not much of a difference, but levenshteinDistance seems to be a good fit here. About as fast as your solution, slightly lower memory usage. byCodeUnit/byChar might shave off a few more ms. For small scripts like these I'm usually not even bothering with const

Re: Using tasks without GC?

Creates a Task on the GC heap that calls an alias. If possible, there's also scopedTask, which allocates on the stack: https://dlang.org/phobos/std_parallelism.html#.scopedTask So my question is: Has anyone done any analysis over how "dangerous" it is to use GC'd tasks for _small_ tasks (in

Re: d word counting approach performs well but has higher mem usage

2018-11-04 Thread dwdv via Digitalmars-d-learn
Assoc array allocations? Yup. AAs do keep their memory around (supposedly for reuse). [...] Why it consumes so much is a question to the implementation. [...] I guess built-in AAs just love to hoard. What a darn shame. This way I'm missing out on all those slick internet benchmark points.

d word counting approach performs well but has higher mem usage

2018-11-03 Thread dwdv via Digitalmars-d-learn
Hi there, the task is simple: count word occurrences from stdin (around 150mb in this case) and print sorted results to stdout in a somewhat idiomatic fashion. Now, d is quite elegant while maintaining high performance compared to both c and c++, but I, as a complete beginner, can't
