In his 1968 letter, A case against the GO TO statement (known only by that name), Dijkstra said “[t]he go to statement as it stands is just too primitive, it is too much an invitation to make a mess of one’s program.” Unfortunately, scheme programmers aren’t given that invitation. That’s no fair! Fortunately, scheme has a procedure, call/cc, that we can use to emulate the style of control ...
PRQL is a modern language for transforming data
Disclaimer: I'm the author of xsync, one of the libraries benchmarked here. I did my best to keep this benchmark neutral and fair to all implementations. If you spot any issues or have suggestions for improvements, please open an issue. Since Go 1.24, sync.Map is backed by a HashTrieMap — a concurrent hash trie with 16-way branching at each level. Reads are lock-free via atomic pointer ...
A centipawn advantage is a measure of a chess engine's evaluation of a position, with 100 centipawns corresponding to a 50% chance of winning, and can be converted to Elo difference using a graph. The centipawn system models draws separate from wins and losses, unlike the Elo system, and is used to estimate probabilities of each outcome in a chess game.
