> And why 32 entries? I ran this benchmark with a bunch of different bucket sizes and 32 worked well. I have no idea why that worked out to be the best. If you were using 2-byte in…

I was just wondering what the author's opinion of Zig's take on C-interop would be.

I hope so; the dump site will surely be found, and the movie will be rescued. I'm reminded of someone digging up a trove of ET cartridges for the Atari 2600 from the dump where the…
