Extensibility: The "100% Lisp" Fallacy

Extensibility: The "100% Lisp" Fallacy

So, I've seen some articles promoting Emacs-like editors written in Lisp languages, and one of the most common arguments seems to be: "it's written in This Lisp and also scriptable in This Lisp, and that gives it great extensibility." 1 It's not wrong, but I think it does overlook a few things. By the way: Happy New Year!

Can Bundler Be as Fast as Uv?

Tenderlove Making

Can Bundler Be as Fast as uv?

At RailsWorld earlier this year, I got nerd sniped by someone. They asked “why can’t Bundler be as fast as uv?” Immediately my inner voice said “YA, WHY CAN’T IT BE AS FAST AS UV????” My inner voice likes to shout at me, especially when someone asks a question so obvious I should have thought of it myself. Since then I’ve been thinking about and investigating this problem, going so far as to give a presentation at XO Ruby Portland about Bundler performance. I firmly believe the answer is “Bundler can be as fast as uv” (where “as fast” has a margin of error lol).

Now if you don't mind I'm going to delete the root folder and see what happens.
