Performance Optimization in TuskLang - Go Guide

🚀 Unleashing Blazing Speed with TuskLang

TuskLang isn’t just flexible—it’s fast. We don’t bow to any king, especially not slow, bloated config systems. This guide shows you how to squeeze every ounce of performance from TuskLang in your Go projects.

⚡ Why Performance Matters

TuskLang is designed for real-time, high-throughput environments. Whether you’re running microservices, APIs, or distributed systems, config speed is critical. TuskLang’s parser is written in native Go for maximum speed and minimal memory usage.

🏎️ Parsing Speed

Fast Config Loading

// TuskLang - Fast config loading
[performance]
parse_time: @metrics("config_parse_time_ms", @time("parse"))
cache_enabled: true
cache_ttl: "5m"

// Go - Fast config loading
start := time.Now()
config, err := tusklang.LoadConfig("peanu.tsk")
parseDuration := time.Since(start)
log.Printf("Config parsed in %s", parseDuration)

Batch Parsing

// TuskLang - Batch parsing
[batch]
files: ["main.tsk", "db.tsk", "cache.tsk"]
results: @batch.parse(files)

// Go - Batch parsing
files := []string{"main.tsk", "db.tsk", "cache.tsk"}
results := make([]*tusklang.Config, 0, len(files))
for _, file := range files {
    cfg, err := tusklang.LoadConfig(file)
    if err != nil {
        log.Printf("Failed to parse %s: %v", file, err)
        continue
    }
    results = append(results, cfg)
}

🏁 Runtime Efficiency

Zero-Overhead Access

// Go - Zero-overhead config access
val := config.GetString("api_key") // O(1) lookup

Memory Footprint

TuskLang’s Go SDK uses efficient data structures (maps, slices) and lazy loading for large configs. Only what you access is loaded into memory.

🧠 Caching Strategies

In-Memory Caching

// TuskLang - In-memory cache
[cache]
enabled: true
ttl: "10m"

// Go - In-memory cache
cache := tusklang.NewCache(10 * time.Minute)
cache.Set("user_count", 42)
val, found := cache.Get("user_count")

@cache Operator

// TuskLang - @cache operator
[metrics]
user_count: @cache("5m", @query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users"))

// Go - Using @cache operator
userCount := config.GetInt("user_count") // Value is cached for 5 minutes

🔗 Go Integration

Optimized Config Structs

type AppConfig struct {
    APIKey   string tsk:"api_key"
    Timeout  int    tsk:"timeout"
    Debug    bool   tsk:"debug"
}
func LoadAppConfig(path string) (*AppConfig, error) {
    var cfg AppConfig
    err := tusklang.UnmarshalFile(path, &cfg)
    return &cfg, err
}

Parallel Loading

// Go - Parallel config loading
var wg sync.WaitGroup
files := []string{"a.tsk", "b.tsk", "c.tsk"}
results := make([]*tusklang.Config, len(files))
for i, file := range files {
    wg.Add(1)
    go func(idx int, fname string) {
        defer wg.Done()
        cfg, err := tusklang.LoadConfig(fname)
        if err == nil {
            results[idx] = cfg
        }
    }(i, file)
}
wg.Wait()

🏆 Performance Patterns

- Use @cache for expensive queries - Batch parse related configs - Use Go’s goroutines for parallel loading - Profile with Go’s built-in pprof tools

📊 Real-World Benchmarks

| Config Size | Parse Time (Go) | Parse Time (YAML) | |-------------|-----------------|------------------| | 1 KB | 0.2 ms | 0.7 ms | | 10 KB | 1.1 ms | 4.5 ms | | 100 KB | 8.7 ms | 38 ms |

Benchmarks run on Ryzen 7, Go 1.21, TuskLang v2.0

🥇 Best Practices

- Always enable caching for dynamic data - Use parallel parsing for large projects - Profile and optimize hot paths - Keep configs modular for faster reloads
