my summary of "using Rust with Ruby: a deep dive with Yehuda Katz"

My summary of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqrwPVtSHZI

TL;DR:

Rails has a library, ActiveSupport, which adds methods to Ruby core classes. One of those methods is String#blank?, which returns a boolean (sometimes I miss this convention in Rust, the ?) if the whole string is whitespace or not. It looks like this: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/b3eac823006eb6a346f88793aabef28a6d4f928c/activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/object/blank.rb#L99-L117

It's pretty slow. So Discourse (which you may know from {users,internals}.rust-lang.org) uses the fast_blank gem, which provides this method via a C implementation instead. It looks like this: https://github.com/SamSaffron/fast_blank/blob/master/ext/fast_blank/fast_blank.c

For fun, Yehuda tried to re-write fast_blank in Rust. Which looks like this:

var Col = require('react-bootstrap/lib/Col')
var PageHeader = require('react-bootstrap/lib/PageHeader')
var React = require('react')
var Row = require('react-bootstrap/lib/Row')
var {connect} = require('react-redux')
var {reduxForm} = require('redux-form')
var DateInput = require('./DateInput')
var FormField = require('./FormField')
var LoadingButton = require('./LoadingButton')

# Wouldn't it be great if you could have STI like functionality
# without needing to encode strings of class names in the database?
# Well today is your lucky day! Discriminable Model is here to help.
#
# Simply specify your models desired type column, and provide a block to
# do the discrimination. If you want the whole STI-esque shebang of properly
# typed finder methods you can supply an array of 'discriminate_types' that will
# be used to apply an appropriate type.
