rust data loader example #1452

Closed mythmon closed 2 weeks ago

mythmon commented 2 weeks ago

For our recent data loaders, I had prepared two examples, but only had time to demo one of them in the presentation. This is the other one, a data loader example that uses Rust to simulate 10 million poker hands and reports the probability of getting each hand.

Just a few nitpicking comments :) It's a great example!

As well as the review feedback, I made a fairly mechanical conversion of the Rust data loader into TypeScript, to get a speed comparison. Unsurprisingly, the Rust example is much faster, about 65x faster on my system. 20x of that can be theoretically attributed to parallelism, leaving a ~3x language speed up. I'm not sure if this should be included in the example though. What do you all think?

I like the idea!
