Ruby Outperforms C: Breaking the Catch-22YJIT’s ability to improve performance by adapting to run-time behavior can increase the speed of our code in a way that dropping down to C can’t. As such, I think we should reconsider the common wisdom that “rewriting our Ruby in C” is the ideal path to performance optimization and take a serious look at “rewriting our C in Ruby” instead. 2023-08-28T17:00:00-0700 Rails at Scale Aaron Patterson 3,000 words Rated 2025-02-12T21:06:10-0800 - sethherr
