Aaron: 30%? Matz: 30% is huge. Aaron: Yeah! Jonan: That seems like a pretty good improvement to me. Koichi: I do think so. Aaron: We just need a few more 30% improvements then Ruby 3x3 is done. Matz: Yeah, that means 30% of the time is spent in the compiler. EDIT: maybe they were joking once again?

I hope so. I always thought that Ruby could greatly benefit from something like .pyc files in Python. I love working with Ruby; I get lots of work done in very little time. However, sometimes I just can't wrap my head around certain language design, documentation, and implementation decisions.

Of course Aaron was joking at that point.

I think there was a miscommunication in the interview. He meant load/parse/compile time. See http://www.atdot.net/~ko1/activities/2016_railsconf_pub.pdf http://www.atdot.net/~ko1/activities/2016_railsconf_pub.pdf

> Koichi: I do think so. This is mistake. I said "I don't think so". 30% is not enough.
