Author here, sorry about that, I just deployed a fix, should be readable now. If it's not, here's the first few points - Once you get good at Rust all of these problems will go awa…

Author of Comfy here, happy to answer any questions :) A few relevant links: - website https://comfyengine.org/ - announcement blog post https://comfyengine.org/blog/first/

You mention you wrote most of the parsing yourself. Is there any reason why you didn't use something like LLVM to do the heavy lifting?

In that case you have a much bigger problem :P

And all of those choices are utterly horrible (IDEs, not editors).

And here I was, thinking this would be about statistics.

I understand, I do like the idea of Phoenix, and it is definitely great to be able to keep 2M connections open at all. I'm just wondering where is the per-connection overhead going…

That's only about twice as much as in your case (I'm not saying it's not a lot, just pointing it out). Still, I wonder how low could one get when implementing this at a much lower …

I wonder how Meteor's performance would hold up for a game like this.
