I am from Vienna, and this is completely false. Likewise, my friends from many countries, incl. Vietnam, also share the sentiment you describe as "American". Your point has no standing.
Ok well I didn't meet everyone in Vienna or Vietnam, but those I did meet hadn't been laid off in the name of AI (yesterday three of my friends were laid off from Amazon). And if you're laid off in Vienna you still have access to healthcare, and there's a functioning safety net, and just generally a sense that you're not alone in this. In the united states my apartment has a homeless man living beneath it and every night you hear him either screaming because he doesn't have access to drugs or laughing because he does. There's a not so subtle attitude that maybe people like that deserve to die. So yes maybe people in Vienna don't like AI, but you are wrong that they fear it in the way Americans do.
Well I also visited Ethiopia this year and I got to hear first hand about the genocide in Tigray, I'm very aware of the horrifying atrocities that happen when social order and human rights break down.
Sad that your comment is downvoted. But yes, for those who need clarification:
1) Measurements are faulty. List of 1,000 ints can be 4x smaller. Most time measurements depend on circumstances that are not mentioned, therefore can't be reproduced.
2) Brainrot AI style. Hashmap is not "200x faster than list!", that's not how complexity works.
3) orjson/ujson are faulty, which is one of the reasons they don't replace stdlib implementation. Expect crashes, broken jsons, anything from them
4) What actually will be used in number-crunching applications - numpy or similar libraries - is not even mentioned.
GPT-"""5.2""" is out for what, half an hour? And then there are 3 astroturfed comments (from @mrpdaemon, @speajus @shaohua) from within 10 minutes before my post.
Transactions are supported in Durable Objects. In fact, with DO you are interacting with the SQLite database locally and synchronously, so transactions are essentially free with no possibility of conflicts and no worry about blocking other queries.
Extensions are easy to enable, file a bug on https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd . (Though this one might be trickier than most as we might have to do some build engineering.)
Without evaluating it thoroughly and judging just from description - I really hope this ends up open-sourced - will help drastically to many good-intent parties.
