my blog on recent code and dmd performance tips
I try to write something on this once a week, though longer posts like this tend to be less common (and some weeks, like last week, I post nothing at all...), but I rarely post here since I don't want to be super spammy. However a reminder here my D blog is still active and if you use my libs you might want to check in once a month or so and if you don't, the general D tips are probably interesting enough for you to skim anyway every two or three months. Anyway, I wrote something longer this time and talked both about my libs and about some dmd compile speed/ram tips in general so might be worth a skim by many of you: http://dpldocs.info/this-week-in-d/Blog.Posted_2020_05_11.html (and a couple weeks ago I wrote about the script lang too which if you are at all interested in that it might be fun to look at: http://dpldocs.info/this-week-in-d/Blog.Posted_2020_04_27.html you can subclass D classes in script and reuse them from D! pretty cool if i do say so myself lol)

Hello!
Just a note that dlang-requests ver 1.1.0 released with new
'ByLine' interfaces added for get/post/put requests.
range algorithms can be applied to server responses, so that
simple chain
getContentByLine("https://httpbin.org/anything";)
.map!"cast(string)a"
.filter!(a => a.canFind("data"))
should work.
These calls work lazily so you can apply them to large
documents.
dlang-requests - HTTP client library, inspired by
python-requests with goals:
small memory footprint
performance
simple, high level API
native D implementation
https://github.com/ikod/dlang-requests
https://code.dlang.org/packages/requests
Always waiting for your bugreports and proposals on project
page.
Best regards!
Very nice to see requests for D.
It is written in README that it has a small memory footprint
and performance but how does it compare against Python version?
I never compared performance with Python requests, but I made
some comparisons with
curl and wget, but results were never published. I just checked
that there are no any odd delays.
There were some performance issues with connection pooling and
caching redirects (like
https://github.com/ikod/dlang-requests/issues/80), but they were
fixed quite long ago.
I am asking because we have some Python packages using requests
and I wanted to try to rewrite them in D. To avoid ppl raising
eyebrows it would be nice to know a bit more details if
possible.
There are some functions of Python requests that were not
implemented for dlang - for example, conversion to json and maybe
a few others, but I can easily add them if someone really needs
it.
At the same time I tried to adapt API to Dlang way - like using
lazy ranges when sending or receiving data, and like lazy byLine
interator over response body, so your code may look and perform
better with dlang-requests than with python.
PS. I mentioned small memory footprint in README because, for
some reason, I failed to keep memory usage in reasonable bounds
with std.net.curl at the time I tried to use it.

I need to the count to have a rough estimate of how low the size of my initial audience is.. Just to give you an example of my raw output... Are you not getting tired of this hopelessly boring OpenSource scene? All these 50 shades of JS framework, series. The long and dull re-runs of all of the web server framework shows. A clone of this! A copy of that but in Lua compiled to down to shell script. I hope the guys are giggling to themselves and this is all not serious in any way. Won't like to offend people, right? Wrong. I do not care really if something is fundamentally a copy I call it boring, despite it maybe have some interesting qualities. With that in mind I'd rather see people flex their brains on hard problems. Challenges! Just because the hardware is so fast you you can actually compile Lua to Shell script that transpiles itself to JavaScript starts the to show rainbows and ponies (with optional web assembly ray-tracing backend, that however is only supported on Chrome or Firefox, whatever). I'm talking about real work folks. Like how many interesting things can you pack in 32 bit machine word? Are you done making that list of yours? What about it being agnostic to Big / Little Endian issues when read from octet stream? Oh, gets more interesting doesn't it? How about adding a checksum of sorts, you know count the bits do some bitwise magic to validate the result in order to detect 1 bit of error creeping in during the transfer? How it looks if we print the octets as ASCII? Should keep my terminal settings intact at least when I pipe it in accidentally ... I could go on and on, but I'd prefer people to find the things they like the most obviously. Okay, it quickly gets out of hand and I need to get back to work I think.
