Reasoner challenge

[rubensworks]

@jeswr Have you seen this reasoning challenge pass by?

Might be interesting to try out in your implementation(s).

Haven't seen this yet @rubensworks - definitely worth a try - I suspect the performance issues in the AsyncIterator package need to be released before these components will be competitive in it

[jeswr]

I just tested the following segment

const { Parser, Store } = require('n3');
const fs = require('fs');

const parser = new Parser();
const store = new Store();

const now = performance.now();
parser.parse(fs.createReadStream('./tbox.ttl'), (e, quad) => {
  if (!quad) {
    const end = performance.now();
    console.log(end - now, store.size);
    return;
  }
  store.add(quad)
})

it takes 21s (and if we don't load it into the store it is 5s), so the time to parse and add data in the N3 package still needs to be improved in order to be competitive with loading times accounted for @rubensworks @RubenVerborgh

it takes 21s (and if we don't load it into the store it is 5s),

So that's just for parsing and loading, right?

Based on the loading times reported in that gist (6s, 36m, 2m), that seems quite competitive though.

Yep

that seems quite competitive though.

True (I was only comparing to the 6s one) - though it would be nice if it could be brought closer to the 1sec state-of-the-art of RDFOX

This is JavaScript though; we don't have the low-level access that they do. I suspect most of the time is storage, not parsing.

There's also the hidden variable of different system capabilities to take into account here. Good comparisons will require running all systems on the same machine.
