Discussion
-
Franklin: Updated workgroup org membership: removed Kyle, Dianna, and Daniel in update
-
Joe: Had a swift docs sync - Swift StdLib had an author reset, is still progressing
- Versioning is layering over it, Jerimiah is prototyping it, has upcoming feedback needs for version navigation/selection, will report back when I get the details.
-
Joe: Also a question - what inspired the amazing JSON parsing PR?
-
- 10% faster decoding for JSON decoding of Symbolgraphs
- new decoding mechanisms using SPAN
-
Dave: When in Foundation?
-
Vera: This is getting wins by being super specific to what it's expecting
-
David: Reads by chunks through a raw buffer array and progresses into the JSON without lots of allocations or re-reads.
-
Joe: Really curious - what's the gap with what you did and what Span offers now
-
David: The loading mechanism that's being pitched in the forums right now is one of the biggest things.
-
(Joe): I think this is the pitch referenced: [Pitch 2] Safe loading of values from `RawSpan`
-
David: Holding for the 6.3 initial release for SEO release
-
Franklin: The Markdown file generation was also cherry picked into 6.3
-
Joe: Are there docs expected with this, or is it more experimental and left as is?
-
Franklin: worth exploring in original thread on Forums
