Do not have very positive experience with influxdb, but the strange for me that clickhouse was not even mentioned in the article


Would be better to retest

If I remember correct, we had the same results described in article in 2014, but also I remember that linux loopback was optimized after it and different was much smaller if visible


There is another graph db which is in-mem - better to compare with - memgraph


Yes, they also claims that they are 120x faster than neo4j.

I think a study around KuzuDB vs. Memgraph will be interesting.


- atop does not have mounts status

- interface a bit more intuitive: - you see full day on top chart, see spikes on it and scroll into the moment to check it in details

- alerts/notifications

- does not need root


if installed from root then /var/log/ttop else ~/.cache/ttop


I did a lot of nim small projects. All of them are on nimble build system: https://github.com/inv2004


Some background: I spent years in C++, then many years in Java, Ocaml, Python, Rust and even APL - everything is for production. My last pet-project was on Rust also, and it took about 2+ years and I felt pretty depressed about IT at all.

One of the part of the project (feed collector) I tried to write in many languages to compare. One day I downloaded Nim - did not expect anything at all - just wanted to try async and ... in about 2 hours (on new language for me) I had the same functionality I spent 2 weeks in Rust. More interesting - it was about 30% faster than Rust solution.

After it, I can just show the picture: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/4949069/229308266-...

I rewrote full (2 years+) project in Nim in 3 weeks. I understand that I knew good architecture for the second implementation, but 3 weeks is good anyway.

Did a lot of pet-projects, I use it for small prod tools or research if it is possible.

For example I wanted to extend atop functionality, and I wrote my own ttop: https://github.com/inv2004/ttop

For new Nim's user I would describe it like python with speed of C-lang. But later you will find that it is not another python, it is its own language with a lot of powerful things like templates, macros, very good interop with C (that is why libraries are not a problem most of the time) and etc.


Also, I would like to mentioned that I was impresses how much the Nim is perfect shape with quite small team of core contributors compared to many other languages. There are some bugs, of course. nimsuggest (main thing for LSP) is not in the perfect shape. But I did not have any feelings of unfinished product like Pony-lang, Crystal and etc


Was linux user/sysadm for years and used a lot of different tools like top, htop, sar and atop, but it was never a tool which is simple and with all values I wanted in my terminal for fast trouble-shooting: no df (atop), or no historical snapshots (top, htop) and etc

So, I decided to take it in my hands and spent few days to create my own ttop
