home_run 0.9.1 released

home_run is an implementation of ruby’s Date/DateTime classes in C, with much better performance (20-200x) than the version in the standard library, while being almost completely compatible.

Comments

This is very cool. Ruby reputation as a slow language continues to become a thing of the past.

I only wish someone would take the time to make a better Date/Time library for Ruby. Ruby’s API is a bit lack luster, somewhat confusing, and sorely lacks support for a number of features like actual Durations.
