🌟 Complete Ecosystem

Nen Ecosystem

A comprehensive suite of high-performance libraries built on shared principles of static memory allocation, inline optimization, and predictable performance.

Core Principles

Every library in the Nen ecosystem follows these fundamental design principles

💾
Static Memory Allocation

Zero dynamic allocation for predictable performance

  • Predictable memory usage
  • No allocation overhead
  • Cache-friendly
  • Real-time ready
⚡
Inline Function Optimization

Critical functions marked inline for maximum performance

  • Reduced call overhead
  • Compile-time optimization
  • Better instruction cache
  • Minimal latency
🛡️
Validation-First Approach

Prevent errors before they occur through input validation

  • Error prevention
  • Graceful degradation
  • Better user experience
  • Reduced debugging
🚀
Performance by Design

Performance considerations built into every layer

  • High throughput
  • Low latency
  • Efficient resource usage
  • Scalable architecture
