Self-documenting code is supposed to reduce the need for comments and increase readability, so here is a self-documenting CRC32 function to show exactly how it is done.
Bash is a command interpreter used in system scripts for calling external commands, so I wanted to compare the speed of Bash to the speed of other interpreted languages by doing a simple test.
This simple benchmark compares the speed at which different languages are able to sum values: ∑ i = 0 10000 i Unsurprisingly, the Rust implementation was the fastest.
