`table` handles slow `ListStream`s in a special way: every 100 items, it checks whether 1 second has elapsed since the last table page, and if so it outputs a new page with all the items in its buffer. **I would like to remove the "every 100 items" condition and always output whatever we have if a second has elapsed.** I think this will be a better user experience for very slow streams. As a motivating example, imagine tailing a log file and doing some string parsing/projection on each line. The user will be really annoyed if they have to wait for 100 lines to be written to the log before seeing new results! I did some quick performance measurements with Criterion, and the elapsed-time check takes about 16ns on my machine (Linux, 12900k). I think the performance impact of checking that for every item will be negligible.
Nushell core libraries and plugins
These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.
Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:
- Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
- Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.
Plugins are likewise also split into two types:
- Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
- Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
