How I Made Ruby Faster than Ruby
SMRTR summary
P2, a Ruby HTML templating library, transforms templates into optimized code that's never actually executed. Through key improvements to the code generation process—separating static and dynamic HTML, removing rescue clauses, freezing string literals, and using faster HTML escaping—P2 now matches ERB/ERubi performance while being 10x faster than non-compiled alternatives like Papercraft. This compilation approach demonstrates that Ruby can be extremely fast when code is properly optimized.
