Vertasium has a great video talking how Tit-for-Tat (Copycat) wins as a strategy (and how there was a math competition that proved it as well) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mScpHTIi-kM --- This seems like a nice rebuild o

You can see Ruby core perf improvements at the link below, going back 4-years. Even though this is from the YJIT folks, they include the non-jit improvements as a comparison. https://speed.yjit.org/history.html

Slightly OT: Why aren't AI coding assistants implemented as plugins (like through an LSP), rather than being a standalone AI-first editor (like Cursor)? I might be missing the obvious, and I get no standard exists, but why aren't
