# Rust Performance Library Collection Principles

## Core Requirements
- **Maximum Performance**: Sub-millisecond latency target for all operations
- **Memory Efficiency**: Minimal allocation, reuse buffers where possible
- **Concurrency**: Scale to 100,000+ connections on modern hardware
- **Cross-Platform**: First-class support for Linux, macOS, Windows
- **Async First**: Designed for async/await from the ground up
- **Zero Unsafe**: No unsafe code without extensive justification and testing
- **Modular Design**: Composable components with clear boundaries and minimal dependencies
- **Scalability**: Architecture must scale horizontally and be future-proof

## Development Standards
- **Benchmark Driven**: All optimizations must be validated with benchmarks
- **Profile Before Optimizing**: Identify real bottlenecks before optimization
- **100% Test Coverage**: Core functionality must be fully tested
- **Documentation**: API docs with examples for all public functions
- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive, user-friendly error handling
- **SOLID Principles**: Especially single responsibility - each component does one thing well
- **Best Practices**: Adherence to KISS (Keep It Simple), DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself), and YAGNI (You Aren't Gonna Need It)
- **Semantic Versioning**: Strictly follow semver for all releases
