C++ has two `harm_conj` implementations. 3. **📝 Aligned naming** — Python & C++ now match Rust's `v_a/v_b`, `lambda_val/mu_val`, `a_1/a_2/a_3`, `ln_l/ln_m`. 4. **🛠️ Filled all gaps** — Python got 7 new modules. C++ got `conic.hpp` and `transform.hpp`. **565+ tests pass across all three.** 5. **⚡ Benchmarks for all three** — Rust: `criterion` (13 groups). C++: Google Benchmark (12 ops, ~2.5 ns each). Python: pytest-benchmark (21 ops, 0.7–150 μs). **All integrated and runnable.** --- ### 🎯 Performance Verdict .pull-left[ **When to use each:** **C++** 🏆 — When you need **maximum speed**: ~2.5 ns per operation, `constexpr` everywhere, CRTP zero-overhead abstraction. **Rust** 🦀 — When you need **safety + speed**: `wrapping_mul` prevents UB, trait-based polymorphism, within 2× of C++. **Python** 🐍 — When you need **clarity + quick development**: 30 lines to implement a full geometry class, big integers for overflow safety, 126-passing test suite. ] .pull-right[ **Performance spread:** ``` Operation C++ Rust Python ───────────────────────────────────── dot_product 2.6 ns 1-2 ns 1,160 ns cross_product 2.5 ns 2-4 ns 1,710 ns meet 2.8 ns 2-5 ns 2,810 ns harm_conj 2.9 ns 10-20 ns 13,240 ns C++ ≈ Rust ≈ Python × 500-5000 ``` ] **Rule of thumb:** If you're doing millions of geometry ops per second, use C++ or Rust. For interactive geometry (cad, visualization, education), Python is fast enough. --- ### 📊 Final Scorecard | Metric | 🦀 Rust | ⚡ C++ | 🐍 Python | |--------|---------|-------|-----------| | **Completeness** | 🥇 Most complete | 🥈 All features | 🥈 All features | | **Tests** | 🥇 361 | 🥈 78 | 🥈 126 | | **Consistency verified** | ✅ Reference | ✅ 30/30 | ✅ 30/30 | | **Benchmarks** | 🥇 criterion | 🆕 Google BM | 🆕 pytest-bm | | **Type safety** | 🥇 `wrapping_mul` | 🥈 raw `*` | ✅ big ints | | **Naming** | 🥇 Reference | ✅ Aligned | ✅ Aligned | | **Performance** | 🥈 ~2× C++ | 🥇 ~2.5 ns | 🥉 ~μs | | **Build** | 🥇 `cargo` | 🥈 `xmake` | 🥈 `pip` | **All three now:** - ✅ Same algorithms, same results (verified!) - ✅ Same variable naming - ✅ Working benchmark suites - ✅ API-complete (conic, transform, cross-ratio, etc.) --- count: false class: nord-dark, middle, center # 🙏 Thank You! ### *Questions?* **Repositories:** - 🦀 https://github.com/luk036/projgeom-rs - ⚡ https://github.com/luk036/projgeom-cpp - 🐍 https://github.com/luk036/projgeom-py **Verify benchmarks yourself:** ```bash cd projgeom-rs && cargo bench --all-features # Rust cd projgeom-cpp && xmake -j 10 && xmake run BM_projgeom # C++ cd projgeom-py && pytest tests/bench_projgeom.py --benchmark-only # Python ``` > 💡 **"One algorithm, three languages — verified, benchmarked, shipped."**
