On: Show HN: Pumpkin – A Modern Minecraft server written in Rust

[canucker2016]

Please, just use one measurement unit across all measurements for easier comparison (i.e. RAM in MB, time in ms).

Wow. Pumpkin's runtime is way better (faster, much less RAM used) than the Java versions. Congrats.

I wonder what the Kotlin-based Minestom is doing differently that causes it to have numbers between Pumpkin and the Java versions.

For comparison's sake, do you have build times for Pumpkin? I'll assume that's where critics may target.

[tricked → canucker2016]

Minestom is not based on Kotlin, im guessing they went with a kotlin template instead. Minestom is a server implementation that doesn't use any Mojang code and by default doesn't do much for you but provides the utilities to add the things yourself.

How bad could it be? I cry while async-stripe crate builds.

Just tested compile times

Compiling from Nothing

*Debug:* 10.35sec *Release:* 38.40sec

Recompilation (pumpkin crate)

*Debug:* 1.82sec *Release:* 28.68sec

I will put them into the benchmarks

The build times on async-stripe are inhumane. I wish the project didn't use so much codegen.
