I made a script run 800% faster by using the Time class instead of the
DateTime class. You can see the scripts and more details at
http://www.recentrambles.com/pragmatic/view/33 Also, using a “memoize”
function whenever possible can greatly increase performance.
I’m still new to ruby, but what does this mean?

The Set library is a standard library that comes with Ruby. I
believe it uses rbtree if it can be loaded or a plain Hash otherwise,
but it supports the expected set operations and keeps the contents
unique.

Thanks, I’ll look that up in the pickaxe book when I get home.

when, oh when, will rbtree be in the core… sigh.

Ah thanks about the Time class. The script I wrote deals with dates,
and I was using Date.strptime. Switching to Time.gm increased the
speed of the script by 4x.

and it would be nice for it to have some more methods, like #slice! (a
destructive version of #bound).

Isn’t it the library someone was complaining is broken in Ruby
1.8.4? We might need to fix it first.

Did you mean ruby-talk:183166 ? I’ve been using rbtree happily on 1.8.4.

Oops, yeah, my memory was poor on that one. It looks like it might
be broken on 1.8.2, not 1.8.4. Sorry. My bad.
