Announcing sidekiq-iteration - a gem that makes your sidekiq jobs interruptible and resumable by design
I am publishing a new gem - https://github.com/fatkodima/sidekiq-iteration. For those familiar with job-iteration (https://github.com/Shopify/job-iteration) from Shopify, this is an adoption of that gem to be used with raw Sidekiq (no ActiveJob).

Making background jobs more resilient by default
Now that we are batching data together, we want to limit how long a single job can run. In order to tackle this, we leveraged functionality from the job-iteration gem. This gem provides an interface where we can define an enumerator and what to do each iteration. The gem will handle the rest. Utilizing this, our job and module will now look like this: (For ease of reading, the bit of code already shown has been removed.)

Why does this function use a lot of memory?
For advanced use cases, check out https://github.com/Shopify/job-iteration which keeps track of progress and can resume after deployment/VM eviction/etc

Ruby 3.3's YJIT: Faster While Using Less Memory
Obviously as an interpreted language, it's never going to be as fast as something like C, Rust, or Go. Traditionally the ruby maintainers have not designed or optimized for pure speed, but that is changing, and the language is definitely faster these days compared to a decade ago.
If you like the ruby syntax/language but want the speed of a compiled language, it's also worth checking out Crystal[^1]. It's mostly ruby-like in syntax, style, and developer ergonomics.[^2] Although it's an entirely different language. Also a tiny community.

What languages are useful for contribution to the GNOME project.
Crystal is a nice language that's not only simple to read and write but performs very well too. And the documentation is amazing as well.

Jets: The Ruby Serverless Framework
Ruby is a super fun scripting language. I much prefer it to python when I need something with a little more "ooomph" than bash. It's just...nice...to write in. Ruby performance has come a long way in the last decade as well. There's libraries for pretty much everything.
My modern programming toolkit is basically golang + ruby + bash and I am never left wanting.
I do find Crystal (https://crystal-lang.org/) really interesting and am hoping it has its own "ruby on rails" moment that helps the language reach a tipping point in popularity. All the beauty of ruby with all of the speed of Go (and then some, it often compares favorably to languages like rust in benchmarks).
