No more slow Date / DateTime
Daniel Willemse do 26 aug 10
Jeremy Evans recently brought out a new gem called home_run
What it does is, it replaces the Date and DateTime classes of the standard ruby library, with a C version of them. (works with both ruby 1.8 and 1.9)
Why should you get it?
Because the gem has proven to be up to 250 times faster than the standard library. This may vary depending on a few factors like ruby version and OS, but in every single case, its faster than the ruby implementation.
There are a couple of downsides to this gem, in that its not 100% compatible with the ruby library. Read up and decide for yourself if this is the gem for you.
