The "hole" syntax for partial application with dollar signs is a really creative alternative that seems much nicer. Does anyone know of any languages that actually do it that way? I'd love to try it out and see if it's actually nicer in practice.

Worth noting that the HTML tag in the title was stripped from the PDF table of contents as well, so the title for that article in the contents is missing a word. No big deal, but good to know for future submissions!

Note that you can link to pages in a PDF with a hash like #page=64 (for example) in the URL.

Are there plans to upstream this into the Zig std library? Seems like it could be useful for more than just the cryptography package, since the benchmarks at the end have it often being faster than std pdqsort. I just checked the issue trackers on Codeberg and GitHub, and didn't see anything mentioning djbsort or NTRU Prime, which leads me to believe there aren't (official) plans to upstream this (yet).

My version is still working well for me, so it's been hard to find motivation to update it. Also, I've been using my increasingly limited free time to work on some exciting new projects, rather than maintenance tasks that feel like a continuation of my day job.

All that to say I'm excited about new repos like yours that take the idea further! I also really appreciate your attention to detail calling out the differences with the original, and that you licensed your version under the GPL.

As an aside, you may want to add "Show HN" to the title. It will allow the page to show up on https://news.ycombinator.com/show

The main one is to set reader expectations that any errors are entirely my own, and that I spent time reviewing the details of the work. The disclosure seemed to me a concise way to do that -- my intention was not any form of anti-AI virtue signaling.

The other reason is that I may use AI for some of my future work, and as a reader, I would prefer a disclosure about that. So I figured if I'm going to disclose using it, I might as well disclose not using it.

I linked to other thoughts on AI just in case others are interested in what I have to say. I don't stand to gain anything from what I write, and I don't even have analytics to tell me more people are viewing it.

All in all, I was just trying to be transparent, and share my work.
