# Go Fast Replace

An implementation in Go.

## To build

## To run

````bash

## To test

````bash

````

## Conclusions

### Replace

Current implementations:

- `bm` uses `strings.NewReplacer` which uses the [Boyer–Moore](https://go.dev/src/strings/search.go) algorithm.
- `cw` uses [Commentz–Walter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commentz-Walter_algorithm) algorithm.

#### Results

- `bm` varies a lot, but is never over _460µs_.
- `cw` is a lot slower, at around _3.5ms_, but it can search for multiple patterns at once.

#### Todo:
- Implement parallelism on the Commentz–Walter implementation.
- [Boyer–Moore variants](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyer%E2%80%93Moore_string-search_algorithm#Variants)
- [Rabin–Karp](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabin%E2%80%93Karp_algorithm) algorithm.
- [Aho–Corasick](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aho%E2%80%93Corasick_algorithm) algorithm.
