Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This change only adds benchmark programs, local runner scripts, CI benchmark registration, and documentation, so product behavior is unchanged. Two rough edges remain: the new Go benchmark files require Go 1.22 or newer while the runner scripts only check that Go is installed, and one results table reports a different compiler revision from the other same-day tables, which slightly weakens reproducibility of the published numbers. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

500,000 rounds of build-update-score on a Person{str, int} record,
stressing struct returns, field-wise copies, and drop glue across a
heap str field. First benchmark with a Python leg since fibonacci.
Checkpoint (macOS 26.6.2, M3 Pro): Ryo AOT 38.1 ms lands within noise
of Rust 37.9 ms at the lightest RSS (1.39 MB); Swift 15.2 ms wins via
small-string optimization; Python 173.5 ms.
README records the evolution note: once list[T] lands (M22) this must
mutate into the AoS particles workload.
Motivated by the struct_records checkpoint: Swift's ~2.5x edge over Rust and Ryo on short-string churn is entirely SSO (strings <= 15 bytes stay inline). Records the tagged-union resolution direction and the ABI breakage surface (RyoStrFat, drop glue, sret paths).

In `@benchmarks/struct_records/struct_records.ryo`:
- Line 9: Update birthday in benchmarks/struct_records/struct_records.ryo:9-9
and benchmarks/struct_records/struct_records.swift:11-11 to construct Person
using the input name field, then adjust the checksum consistently. In
benchmarks/struct_records/struct_records.rs:15-15, copy or clone the input
String according to the intended ownership workload and update the checksum
consistently.
In `@ISSUES.md`:
- Line 354: Revise the I-171 issue description to narrow the claim about heap
allocation: specify that it applies to heap-backed or runtime-created strings,
or explicitly exclude static string literals. Preserve the small-string
optimization scope while acknowledging that cap == 0 identifies non-heap-owned
.rodata strings.
- Line 357: Revise the Summary in ISSUES.md to qualify the str allocation claim:
acknowledge that literals use the cap == 0 .rodata representation and empty
strings avoid allocation, so heap allocation is not universal. Reword the
struct_records benchmark attribution to state that heap allocation is a likely
contributor to Swift’s advantage alongside struct returns, field copies, and
drop glue, rather than claiming allocation alone explains the gap.

- I-171: literals are cap == 0 .rodata (non-heap) and empty strings skip allocation; the claim applies to runtime-created strings. Soften the struct_records attribution from sole cause to a likely contributor alongside sret/field-copy/drop-glue traffic. - benchmarks/README.md: blank line after the entry-9 heading (MD022). - struct_records.py: natural-sort __slots__ (RUF023). - struct_records README: note that birthday rebuilds the name because Ryo rejects moving one field out of a struct (E0043); all four languages rebuild identically to keep semantics uniform.
Rust now partial-moves the name field (free), Swift value-copies it, Python shares the reference; Ryo keeps the rebuild — E0043 forbids moving a field out of a struct and there is no clone builtin. The asymmetry is the measurement: Ryo's no-partial-move rule costs 1.54x vs Rust on this shape (36.9 ms vs 24.0 ms). Checksums are now per-language (27,638,890 for Rust/Swift/Python; 25,750,000 for Ryo) and the README says so explicitly. Fresh hyperfine checkpoint.
Rust was transliterating Ryo's s = s + s as s.clone() + &s and using a manual while-index scan; Swift rebuilt a magic [102, 111, 120] needle literal per comparison. Both arms now express the same workload idiomatically (repeat(2), windows(3), hoisted needle) per the benchmark convention, with checksums and semantics unchanged. Re-measured 2026-09-11: Rust 1.7 ms, Swift 2.6 ms, Ryo AOT 4.9 ms, Ryo JIT 6.5 ms.
Field-level moves are rejected (E0043) and parameters borrow by default, but taking the record by 'move' and mutating the field in place is the idiomatic Ryo shape and does the same work as the other languages. This removes the per-round name rebuild (int_to_str + concat + alloc/free), unifies the checksum at 27,638,890 across all four languages, and moves Ryo AOT from 36.9 ms to 20.1 ms -- now ahead of Rust (23.9 ms); only Swift's small-string optimization stays ahead. Re-measured 2026-09-11; README analysis, global README entry, and the I-171 attribution updated to match.
Captures the struct_records learning: the consuming record-update idiom is move + mutate + return (field moves rejected per E0043, no clone builtin), the naive transliteration costs ~1.8x walltime, and the candidate fixes (update sugar, Clone trait) are deferred design decisions with the '..' spelling already reserved for type bounds.
Splits record update on source liveness: dead-parent field moves are sound and could relax E0043 at zero cost (consuming case), while a borrowed/live source forces clone-or-share and must stay explicit -- auto-clone was measured at ~1.8x walltime in struct_records and is rejected as a hidden-cost footgun.
Go's struct update is a shallow copy whose string header shares the immutable backing bytes (GC owns lifetime) -- same work, same checksum (27,638,890) as the other four languages. Measured 2026-09-11: Go 25.6 ms / 9.30 MB RSS, so Ryo AOT (20.6 ms / 1.39 MB) now beats both Rust and Go on this workload; only Swift's small-string optimization stays ahead.
… cascade StmtKind::Error placeholders lower to nothing, so a parse-broken return reaches sema as a return-less body and stacks a spurious MissingReturn on the real parse diagnostic; the TIR Unreachable suppression never engages because no sentinel is emitted.
struct_records covers the consuming update (move semantics, Ryo matches Rust). This companion suite keeps p alive after birthday, so every language pays its real sharing cost: Rust clones explicitly, Swift retains (SSO), Go shares the header (GC), Python refcounts, and Ryo writes the clone by hand as p.name + "" -- the only str duplication available until the Clone trait or shared[T] lands (I-172). Same checksum (54,777,780) across all five languages. Measured 2026-09-11: Swift 12.0 ms, Go 24.9, Ryo AOT 28.7, Ryo JIT 31.3, Rust 31.6, Python 148.9; Ryo lightest RSS at 1.36 MB. Added to codspeed AOT build lists; struct_records README notes move p matches Rust's by-value move.
Third record-update idiom: birthday mutates through a mutable borrow (inout / &mut / Swift inout / Go pointer / Python attribute store) and returns nothing -- no clone, move, retain, or sret. Same checksum (27,638,890) across all five languages. Measured 2026-09-11: Swift 11.7 ms, Ryo AOT 20.2, Ryo JIT 22.7, Rust 24.4, Go 25.1, Python 110.3. Ryo AOT matches its own consuming-update time (20.6 ms in struct_records), confirming the idiom choice is free; the three struct_records suites together price the record-update vocabulary: in-place = consuming < keep-original.
The workflow build lists already compile both binaries; the root codspeed.yml is what the walltime/memory actions actually execute.
Applies the checkpoint convention (results tables must capture toolchain versions) to string_building, mandelbrot, doubling_concat, many_small_strings, and collatz. All five suites re-run 2026-09-11: Rust 1.98.0, Swift 6.3.3, Python 3.14.7, Ryo 0.1.0-dev.20260911+b3b7d25. Rankings unchanged; Ryo AOT remains fastest in doubling_concat. Analysis prose left intact except one stale ratio in string_building (12.45x -> 11.83x).
…nism Eleven suites carry sed-copied run_benchmarks.sh forks (~1,030 lines) with the shared mechanism interleaved with arm declarations, plus manual registration in codspeed.yml and both workflow build lists; proposes a manifest-driven shared runner that also emits the canonical README results table.

site:go.dev/doc/go1.22 integer range over integer for i := range 10 Go 1.22
💡 Result:
Starting with Go 1.22, you can use the range clause to iterate over an integer, which simplifies loops that run a specific number of times [1]. When you write for i:= range n, the loop iterates from 0 up to, but not including, n [1]. The variable i takes on each integer value in the sequence 0, 1,..., n-1 [1]. Example usage: for i:= range 10 { fmt.Println(i) // Prints 0 through 9 } This feature eliminates the need to write the traditional three-part for loop (for i:= 0; i < 10; i++) for simple counting tasks [1].
Citations:
Enforce the Go version in the manual benchmark runners.
These benchmarks run manually and are not part of CI. The runner scripts only check that go exists, so Go versions older than 1.22 reach go build and fail on the integer-range loops. Require Go 1.22 or later, or use three-clause loops.

Rust's impl Add<&str> for String consumes the lhs and reuses its buffer, so the identical source is still amortized O(n) -- measured 1.4 ms, unchanged from push_str. The gap is therefore purely Ryo's allocation policy (fresh exact-size buffer per concat), which the ownership pass already proves safe to elide for a consuming reassign. Files I-175 for the consuming-concat in-place-append work and rewrites the README's analysis section with the sharpened learning; re-measured 2026-09-11.
Blank lines below the eight suite headings that lacked them (MD022), around their bullet lists (MD032) and around the samply fenced blocks (MD031); dash bullets switched to asterisk (MD004). The struct_records heading already had its blank line.
The packed-u128 ABI regression note described a historical state (~6.6 -> ~10 ms and back) that no longer reflects the current bench or code; the table speaks for itself.

Summary
Adds
benchmarks/struct_records/— the first benchmark exercising M9 structs, comparing Ryo (AOT + JIT) against Rust, Swift, and Python (the first Python leg since fibonacci).Workload: 500,000 rounds of
make_person(i)→birthday(p)→score(q)on aPerson{name: str, age: int}record. Every round constructs a struct, consumes it into a new one, and reads it back — stressing sret returns, field-wise copies, and drop glue across a heapstrfield. All four implementations are semantically identical and assert the same checksum (25,750,000).Results (macOS 26.6.2, M3 Pro, hyperfine)
Ryo AOT lands within noise of Rust at the lightest RSS of the suite. Swift's ~2.5x edge is small-string optimization (names ≤ 10 bytes stay inline), not aggregate handling — same effect as in
many_small_strings. Ryo AOT is ~4.6x faster than Python with ~10x less memory.Evolution note
The README records the agreed direction: once
list[T]lands (M22), this benchmark must mutate into the AoSlist[Particle]integration workload — the array-of-structs comparison Ryo vs Rust vs Swift vs Python — with this flat loop retiring or surviving as the baseline leg.Notes
