I don't think C code will be more efficient for things like https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/914caca2d31bd753f47f9168f2a375921d9e91cc/activesupport/lib/active_support/hash_with_indifferent_access.rb#L367. And translating the rest of the logic to C would just make it harder to read, maintain, and not gain anything. Are we going to rewrite Rails in C too? ;) Honestly, I think it's a waste of time to even experiment, it's bound to insifignicant gains for large efforts and maintenance cost. IMHO, HashWithIndifferentAccess would be a mistake, as plain as a mistake can be. Also, I see no valid reason to have this in core, if people really want to try this, they can make a C extension. ---------------------------------------- Feature #17472: HashWithIndifferentAccess like Hash extension https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17472#change-89569 * Author: naruse (Yui NARUSE) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Target version: 3.1 ---------------------------------------- Rails has [ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess](https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/HashWithIndifferentAccess.html), which is widely used in Rails to handle Request, Session, ActionView's form construction, ActiveRecord's DB communication, and so on. It receives String or Symbol and normalize them to fetch the value. But it is implemented with Ruby. If we provide C implementation of that, Rails will gain the performance improvement. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
