While there is one XS package that wraps over #edlib, I will be using #FFI in #perl

Sequence alignment tasks benefit greatly from multithreaded implementations of the dynamic programming to align a single sequence against another , though one often uses threads to parallelize alignment tasks as database searches that use alignments for approximate text matching are embarrassingly parallel tasks.

Thus, #ForkManager seems a reasonable choice to parallelize #edlib

#Debugging #PHP #FFI

How bad of an idea exactly is it to spend the next week attempting to create #Rust #FFI bindings to #WPILibC 2023 instead of just using #WPILibJ…?

@jrhawley #pandas is a memory hog too (of course Python in general also tends to use up lots of memory).
#DuckDB is probably the best solution out there for data management and queries: sqlite3 interface, server less, static type lang #c api that should allow for embedding either via #swig or #FFI.
#IPC are the big pic considerations when one is using those in multilang implementations.

And now, we have cancellable `Future`, https://github.com/mozilla/uniffi-rs/pull/1684. How fun :-).

After an extremely short time looking at docs, I managed to get a short program to compile and run, calling a simple C function from rust. Having tried similar things in the past, from different languages, I was surprised by easy it was.

@lukaseder @alexelcu @JCMann It gets awkward when you want to support stuff like the individual databases' specific SQL-extending support for large (binary) objects (e.g.: https://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/binary-data/) but it's feasible (that documentation is outdated, the ownership issue has been fixed by now: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/lo-implementation.html).

It does help when your driver/library already supports the interface and you don't also have to write #FFI yourself.

@borkdude This opens up completely new possibilities, e.g. to use raylib under clojurescript easily. #bun #clojurescript #nbb #sci #babashka #ffi #javascript

@EndlessMason #FFI works with either static or dynamic linking. #Perl and many other language toolchains default to the latter, but you can still built a big statically linked binary if you’re so inclined.

In contrast, #GoLang (for example) defaults to static linking that includes the runtime along with your code in one executable. It does have a `cgo` feature that lets you call #C code by building and compiling C glue code with your C compiler and then linking it with your #Go.

@EndlessMason Almost every “safe” language has some kind of foreign function interface where guarantees break down. #Java has JNI, Microsoft .NET has P/Invoke, and #Rust just calls theirs #FFI.

Perl’s XS is a glue language mostly made up of #C macros that lets you wire up Perl’s guts to C code. There are also alternatives like #SWIG and FFI::Platypus, the latter of which uses a separate portable library (written in C, natch) that can talk to lots of calling conventions, not just C.

Do someone with Guile FFI experience want to help me to get started with guile-tree-sitter? (:

Just share some best FFI practices and highlight overall direction/approach will be enough.

@dekkzz76 That's true, I'm concerned with how bad the interoperation story is for #Rust right now.

I'm aware of an issue logged for it that explicitly aims to address that issue with some stable export #ABI for #FFI though (and which had some work on it last I checked), so it might work out.

Does #FFI actually work in #cuis #smalltalk with a 64bit Windows? I am trying to get the Cuis SQLite adapter to work. But I keep getting the following error: "No module to load address from". First thought the problem is that the sqlite3.dll is not in the right directory? But now I think the problem is somewhere in the FFI code itself?

I've managed to work around the problem in which the memory allocated in a DLL is occasionally invalid by the time the #ffi call attempts to read it on the #ruby side... by sending it a 10MB output buffer. I've "fixed" the problem but
