🐰 Bencher is the company blog at bencher.dev, writing about programming. Since 2023, 5 different Hacker News readers have linked it 8 times, most often “How Rustls (Rust TLS) fights to stay faster than OpenSSL”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked as a performance-testing tool for CI, mentioned alongside CodSpeed. One comment discusses safer languages than C for critical code. Neither comment judges the writing itself.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
That would be a great solution, but full formal verification is a very high bar. The more realistic answer is to use safer languages than C for this sort of critical work. Rust and Ada spring to mind. They could even expose a C ABI/API. From a quick search, it looks like this has already been achieved for TLS, but it sees little real usage. [0] There are also Rust implementations of SSH (Russh and Thrussh), but I do…

HN discussionReally feel that this is a missing area in CI today and looking forward to what codspeed and https://bencher.dev/ are able to create. Unfortunately, I'm not using either atm. Last I looked at them: - codspeed's Rust integration involved stubbing out a specific benchmark library which seems non-ideal and I've moved away from that library - bencher required manually registering your benches before using it. I have res…
