comparison vs other ryu libraries? #1

according to https://github.com/disruptek/ryu/issues/1#issuecomment-585826968,

@alaviss is writing a nimish version of Ryu that should deprecate this repo. So, the goal of this effort is to flesh out tests and benchmarks so that we can vet future implementations. I expect that the next implementation will be much friendlier to inclusion in the stdlib, for example.

but looks like this repo mentions:

This converter aims for correctness over performance, and is used as a reference to evaluate other algorithms, such as ryū. It should not be used in production due to slow arithmetic regarding larger float sizes.

have you worked on another ryu implementation?

I stopped working on ryu after @Clyybber told me he was working on ryu and/or dragonbox.

It has been 5 months since then, not sure if he has made any progress.

My ryu port (https://github.com/Clyybber/nimryu/tree/master/ryu) is finished as far as functionality goes, but could probably be nimified a bit more. The dragonbox port I haven't finished yet; it's very heavy templatized C++ code.
