    Indeed, I did not mention Bootsnap so as to detract the core point.

    > That's one of the things Bootsnap does to speedup boot time. And when you do that, there's no compilation at runtime.

    Correct, if one does `bootsnap precompile`.

    Bootsnap hooks itself on `Kernel#load` + `Kernel#require` and `RubyVM::InstructionSequence#load_iseq`:

    Essentially this means that it makes LOAD_PATH lookup faster + intercepts iseq compilation to store to cache on a miss and return a cached version on a hit.

    That does not change the load order.

    > But that doesn't change anything about OP's suggestion, it's still impossible to know if an interface will ever be implemented.

    Again correct, as even with `bootsnap precompile` it would only result in earlier ISeq generation (it is essentially cache priming instead of doing it "lazily" on demand), not the time at which these ISeq get loaded and effective, so even then an `abstract` keyword would be ineffective.

  • Long story short: I build a Ruby extension with Zig
    2 projects | dev.to | 25 Dec 2022
    I always had mixed feelings about writing native Ruby extensions. They surely are the way to make critical parts of the code run faster, but the developer experience around that was not great for a Ruby programmer like me. Sure, I know C. This was the second language I learned (after Pascal). I can write C, I can read C, and I even wrote some larger extensions in it, but I never felt comfortable with it.

    To alleviate this problem, the engineers at Shopify created bootsnap, a gem which automatically detects and caches exact load paths to make those require calls fast (see Bootsnap: Optimizing Ruby App Boot Time for details).
