Projektgeschichte

The GitHub repository was created in March 2016, and the README copyright dates the project to 2016. Public GitHub releases began with 1.0.1 in May 2016 and reached 1.0.9 in May 2018.

The README describes the project as a simple utility that wraps Criterion and notes that it is not expected to change much, which matches the small, stable command-line-tool profile.

Adoptionsgeschichte

The README documents installation via Homebrew on macOS, DNF on Fedora or Red Hat-based distributions, Stack, and Nix. That cross-package-manager footprint is the main adoption signal for a small benchmarking utility.

Bench's appeal is strongest for users who want Criterion-style repeated runs, confidence intervals, CSV/JUnit/raw outputs, and HTML reports without writing a Haskell benchmark harness.

Wie es verwendet wird

Users run commands such as `bench 'sleep 1'`, pass one or more command lines, and optionally emit reports with flags such as `--output`, `--csv`, `--junit`, or `--raw`. Output from the command under test is discarded while timing statistics are collected.

It sits between shell built-ins like `time` and larger benchmarking frameworks: lightweight enough for ad hoc CLI comparisons, but statistically richer than a single wall-clock measurement.

Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

Bench is notable as a package-manager-friendly bridge from the Haskell Criterion ecosystem to everyday shell benchmarking. It is small, stable, and very Unix in spirit: one command that makes a deeper library useful outside its home language.

Its significance is modest but real for developers comparing command-line tools, compiler flags, scripts, and small pipelines from a terminal.
