The new Prism parser has become the default in Ruby 3.4.0 preview 2. Let’s benchmark Ruby parsers and find out how fast they are. We run benchmarks on Ruby 3.4.0 preview 2 with YJIT (ruby 3.4.0preview2 (2024-10-07 master 32c733f57b) +YJIT +PRISM [x86_64-linux]), on an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor and a NVMe M.2 SSD, on Linux, with frequency scaling disabled and the performance CPU governor.

Ruby on Rails’ phenomenal rise to prominence owed much of its lift-off to novel technology and timing. But technological advantages erode over time, and good timing doesn’t sustain movements alone over the long term. So a broader explanation of how Rails has continued to not only stay relevant but to grow its impact and community is needed. I propose that the enduring enabler has been and remains

The first time I watched the infamous “build a blog in 15 mins” video, Dreamweaver was a thing, Flash was owned by Macromedia, and Twitter did not exist. 20 years later, Rails is alive and well. While it has never been the the most popular kid on the block by any means, it remains widely used by bootstrapped founders, large tech companies and everyone in between. Learning programming after 40 with

Understanding the core class design and usage via its evolution Years ago, my studies into the Ruby Evolution started with the persuasion that mastering the programming language to express one’s intentions clearly and efficiently may grow significantly by understanding how it evolved and what intentions were put behind its various elements. Moving back through the history of a change of some eleme

Building web applications with Ruby on Rails is one thing—crafting and scaling a fast-paced startup is a whole different ballgame. Startups are expected to deliver: – Disruptive user experience (because who wants to be just another app?) – Remarkable growth rates (we’re talking growth that makes your head spin) – Insane productivity (because time is money, and startups burn through both) Fortunate

Ruby30周年イベント（後編）：まつもと氏「Static Compiler for Ruby」を作りたい。道具立ては揃ってきた まつもとゆきひろ氏によって開発が始まったRuby言語の30周年を祝うイベント「プログラミング言語Ruby30周年記念イベント」が2月25日にオンラインで開催されました。 イベントでは関係者やRuby愛好家らによる過去30年の振り返りやRubyにまつわるライトニングトークなどが行われ、最後にまつもとゆきひろ氏による基調講演「D is for Dream, V for Vaporware」が行われました。 基調講演では、Rubyを開発する前にまつもと氏が手がけた、Rubyの原点となるソフトウェア「CXライブラリ」や、今回初めて名前が明かされた「Tish」という作りかけのプログラミング言語や、これまであまり語られることのなかった、さらにその前の学生時代に妄想していたプ

A common critique of Rails is that it encourages a poor separation of concerns. That when things get serious, you need an alternative that brings the missing pieces. We disagree. I have often heard this: vanilla Rails can only get you so far. At some point, apps become unmaintainable, and you need a different approach that brings the missing pieces, because Rails encourages a poor separation of co

I built an MVP in one month and grew the product for a year. But now it’s time to pass the torch. It’s official, I sold Mugshot Bot! Here’s how it all went down. Humble beginnings Back in October of 2020, I got sick of manually creating link preview images for Twitter every time I wrote a blog post. So, as a good engineer does, I built something to scratch my own itch. I time boxed the entire proj
