Hello folks! I’m announcing Chairmarks.jl, version 1.0 ( docs ). It’s a benchmarking package that aims to be hundreds of times faster than BenchmarkTools without compromising on precision. Usage is pretty similar to BenchmarkTools ( see differences ), but enjoy the performance and usability improveme…

Sure. A warning during package load can certainly lead to deprecation, but that is not mandatory. What I want to know as an and user and package developer, is that the packages I am depending on are being actively maintained.

[image] juliohm: A warning during package load […] Warnings during package load are super annoying. I definitely don’t want this. Anyways, the topic here is Chairmarks.jl not when/how to announce a potential lack of maintainers.

To be clear, I don’t see BenchmarkTools.jl going out of business anytime soon, and I don’t want to deprecate it either. I’m just using the opportunity of a new package announcement to highlight the lack of maintainer energy for this cornerstone of the ecosystem. Thus, even though Chairmarks.jl isn’…

Totally understand it @gdalle . Please make it explicit in the README or elsewhere if you decide to step down from your maintenance role.

Update: I’ve released 1.1.0! As requested, it now has interpolation! The interpolation is largely the same as BenchmarkTools, but has different strange interactions with constant propagation: julia> @btime ifelse(false, sum(sqrt(i) for i in 1:10000), 0.0); 2.041 ns (0 allocations: 0 bytes) julia>…

Thank you @gdalle . Can you please add this information to the top of the README on github so that anyone considering usage can learn about the lack of maintainers? A short message explaining that there are no active maintainers and that you can assign this role to anyone interested would be super h…

[image] Lilith: Chairmarks runs benchmarks in the scope of the calling code while BenchmarkTools runs it in global scope. [image] Lilith: f(n) = @b rand(n) seconds=.001 Am I correct to think that @b can be written much like @time, and the only remaining reason to $-interpolate is to d…

First I’d like to see if any volunteers pop up here. BenchmarkTools is widely used, there is no need to cause uproar by displaying an “unmaintained” status only to roll it back a couple days later

Yes. Yes. The same “people doing benchmarks want the compiler to emit code that does useless work”/“everyone else wants the compiler not to do that” tension still exists.
