Speed sprint
in [Ruby]
|
From: Benedikt Müller on 22 Feb 2010 14:30 Hi We all know: Ruby is not the fastest interpreted language out there. I think, this isn't the goal, but I also think, Ruby is too slow. I would suggest, that a time, say two monthes or three, only speed patches and bugfixes are accepted. So the development could be concentrated on speed. I'd like to hear what over users out there and the developers say to this idea. -- Greetings, Benedikt

Done, and I know that there are improvements. But it's not enough :) -- GruÃ, Benedikt

JRuby is able to leverage the performance features of the Java Virtual Machine. Rubinius and MacRuby are both using LLVM to produce native code from Ruby sources. Ruby 1.9, on the other hand, uses a stack machine interpreter and does not compile to native code. Depending on the specific nature of your performance problems, one of these alternative implementations may be addressing your issues already. -- Tony Arcieri Medioh! A Kudelski Brand

From what I understand they are usually a version behind regular Ruby but you have the power of the JVM. I agree with speeding Ruby up to the credit of the core team they did make an effort on the last release. I do think there are a few other options. (Don't get me wrong I am not opposed to the speed sprints I just wanted to present other options) As far as I know the Ruby runtime is missing lookahead ability. If that is correct adding lookahead could give the runtime a huge performance boost. Another alternative to asking the Ruby core team to do these sprints we could profile, make changes, and submit the commits (and test cases) ourselves. I have never worked on open source project before, but I am speaking with someone about how to get involved and be a productive active member. It takes more than I originally thought. -- Randy
