ruby-1.9.3-p327 cumulative performance patch for rbenv

This installs a patched ruby 1.9.3-p327 with various performance improvements and a backported COW-friendly GC, all courtesy of funny-falcon.

Requirements

You will also need a C Compiler. If you're on Linux, you probably already have one or know how to install one. On OS X, you should install XCode, and brew install autoconf using homebrew.

Fibur

Fibur is a library that allows concurrency during Ruby I/O operations without needing to make use of callback systems. Traditionally in Ruby, to achieve concurrency during blocking I/O operations, programmers would make use of Fibers and callbacks. Fibur eliminates the need for wrapping your I/O calls with Fibers and a callback. It allows you to write your blocking I/O calls the way you normally would, and still have concurrent execution during those I/O calls.

Example

Say you have a method that fetches data from a network resource:

FSSM based FileWatcher for Rails

Rails 3.2 ships with a simple FileWatcher that only reloads your app if any of the files changed.

Besides, it also provides a mechanism to hook up your own file watcher mechanism, so we can use tools like FSSM that hooks into Mac OS X fsevents. This is an example on how to hook your own mechanism (you need Rails master, soon to be Rails 3.2):

  1. Copy the 2_file_watcher.rb file below to lib/file_watcher.rb

  2. Add the following inside your Application in config/application.rb

if Rails.env.development?

Hi David,
I came across your profile online and wanted to reach out about Development
Opportunities here at Groupon. The company is growing, and we're always
looking for folks with solid skills that can make positive contribution to
our continued success. Any chance you'd be open to a quick conversation
about opportunities, or for any possible networking potential? If so, let me
know when you're free and we can set up a time to chat. Also, if you are
interested, it would be great if you could forward a current resume over
that I can take a look at. I look forward to hearing back from you! Please
let me know if you have any questions.
