Description:

By Peter Cooper / October 21, 2014 Raptor bills itself as a new Ruby app server” and it claims to blow everything else out of the water performance-wise (by between 2-4x!) whether that’s Unicorn, Puma, Passenger, or even TorqueBox on JRuby. The bad news for now is there’s no source or repo yet and only a handful of people (including me) have been given a sneak peek, although a public beta is promised on November 25th.The history of Ruby webapp deploymentThe deployment of Ruby (and therefore Rails) webapps was a painful mess for years, a state I lamented 7 years ago in No True ‘mod_ruby’ is Damaging Ruby’s Viability on the Web.

In Ruby, a unary operator is an operator which only takes a single argument in the form of a receiver. For example, the on -5 or ! on !true.In contrast, a binary operator, such as in 2 + 3, deals with two arguments. Here, 2 and 3 (which become one receiver and one argument in a method call to +).Ruby only has a handful of unary operators, and while it s common to redefine binary operators like + or [] to give your objects some added syntactic sugar, unary operators are less commonly redefined.

He teaches the Unix fu workshop, an online class for Ruby developers looking to do some awesome systems hacking in Ruby and boost their confidence when it comes to their server stack. Spots are limited, so check it out the class while there s still room. He s also the esteemed author of Working with Unix Processes, Working with TCP Sockets and Working with Ruby Threads.There are some misconceptions in the Ruby community about this question surrounding MRI s GIL. If you only take one thing away from this article today, let it be this: The GIL does not make your Ruby code thread-safe.

Sorry these roundups have been missing for a couple of months, I ve been focusing very heavily on the e-mail newsletters which are continuing to grow like crazy! :-) I hope to get back into blogging more soon. Matz on Ruby 2.0Matz spoke about Ruby 2.0 ( the happiest release ever ) for 30 minutes at the Heroku Waza event a week ago and the video is already available to watch. He stresses that Ruby 1.8 will die soon and encourages everyone to upgrade.

He digs into how objects are represented internally, why MRI, Rubinius and JRuby act in certain ways and, of course, lots more. I invited Pat to take a very high level cruise through the MRI codebase with me so we could share that knowledge with Ruby programmers who haven t dared take a look under the hood and to show it s not as scary or pointless as it may seem.

There s a tale to tell..The String with the Golden SpaceI was on IRC in #nwrug enjoying festive cheer with fellow Northern Rubyists when ysr23 presented a curious problem.He was using a Twitter library that returned a tweet, @twellyme film , in a string called reply. The problem was that despite calling reply.split, the string refused to split on whitespace. Yet if he did @twellyme film .split in IRB, that was fine.International man of mystery Will Jessop suggested checking $; (it s a special global variable that defines the default separator for String#split).
