| | | | examples/json.aup, 80 lines against the same design's 90 in Python): JSONTestSuite's 95 y_ cases taken and 188 n_ refused, 21 of the 35 i_ taken, the three paths alike, in make check (module_specs, the 316 small cases in tests/specs/json under their MIT license, the two large ones made and hashed); 116 times C's time and 1.2 times plain Python's (299 ns a byte, 339 instructions); && and || made to decide alone (writing it, i < n && d[i] read past the end) with AND and OR kept where the right side cannot fail, every other module byte for byte the same; SHA-256 again with formats and joined bytes, 42 lines and 159 times C

| | | | examples/sha256.aup) right for FIPS 180-2's examples and 138 more messages on every path, in make check against hashlib; 52 lines against Python's 28 (the bar missed: no formatting, no bytes joined or sliced, no lists as values, moved into stage 2), 176 times C's time and 0.43 of plain Python's (1,591 ns a byte; a block's 19,129 instructions, 39% of them the inlined fn's literals not folded); 044's check, time.c against the same algorithm in C (digests compared first) and the Python reference

inflate, JSON, UTF-8 and line breaking, relational queries and graphs, text editing, box layout, HTTP/1.1 by packets, retries and timeouts, constant-time crypto) with five criteria (written in aup and Pure alone, no workaround, lines against a Python reference, time against C, the spec's own vectors passing in Pure's checks on three machines); ten probes (044) show today's aup stops at a byte by position, bit operations, nesting, recursion, variants and reading a character; the core's minimal candidates and the rule against piling up (only what two specs need); SHA-256 and JSON first
