RDOC 2 IS OUT! RI IS NOW FAST!

Category: Informatics, Programming, Ruby, Software / Tag: , ,  / Add Comment

I know, I’m shouting, but there’s stuff to shout about!

I’ve hated ri for being so slow for so long. The new one is out!

I really recommend installing rdoc 2 and firing up ri for the first time. Now only the ‘first time’ takes a long time :D

It’s joyous, just under a second I can really put up with. Thanks to Eric, and I believe Ryan (as I seem to remember him mentioning his ri patch quite some time ago). :-)

    I mean, this has really made my day.

    I’m sitting in irb going “help this” and “help that” and oh, it’s making me happy.

    oh, and just gem uninstalled fast-ri, although:

    raggi@mbk:~$ du -sh .fastri-index
    572K .fastri-index
    raggi@mbk:~$ du -sh .ri
    3.2M .ri

    Not that I care particularly, and I haven’t looked at the implementations. :-)

    Yes, Ryan Davis wrote the new ri implementation.
