#3Love it.
I'm trying to understand why all command line tools don't use io_uring.
As an example, all my nvme's on usb 3.2 gen 2 only reach 740MB/s peak.
If I use tools with aio or io_uring I get 1005MB/s.
I know I may not be copying many files simultaneously every time, but the queue length strategies and the fewer locks also help I guess.

#4The link isn't working for me. For those who were able to see it: does it improve anything by using that instead of what ls does now??

Hm interesting, it worked for me.

Hm, well I have replied it to some other comment too but the link is working fine for me.
Currently downloading zig to build it.

70% faster, but more importantly 35x times less syscalls.

It improves the latency of ls calls.

#9I wonder how it performs against an NFS server with lots of files, especially one over a kinda-crappy connection. Putting an unreliable network service behind blocking POSIX syscalls is one of the main reasons NFS is a terrible design choice (as can be seen by anyone who's tried to ctrl+c any app that's reading from a broken NFS folder), but I wonder if io_uring mitigates the bad parts somewhat.

#10Really interesting, the difference is real though I would just hope that some better coloring support could be added because I have "eza --icons=always -1" command set as my ls and it looks really good, whereas when I use lsr -1, yes the fundamental thing is same, the difference is in the coloring.
Yes lsr also colors the output but it doesn't know as many things as eza does
For example .opus will show up as a music icon and with the right color (green-ish in my case?) in eza whereas it would be shown up as any normal file in lsr.
Really no regrets though, its quite easy to patch I think but yes this is rock solid and really fast I must admit.
Can you please create more such things but for cat and other system utilities too please?
Also love that its using tangled.sh which is using atproto, kinda interesting too.
I also like that its written in zig which imo feels way more easier for me to touch as a novice than rust (sry rustaceans)
