Fasterer

Make your Rubies go faster with this command line tool highly inspired by fast-ruby and Sferik's talk at Baruco Conf.

Fasterer will suggest some speed improvements which you can check in detail at the fast-ruby repo.

Please note that you shouldn't follow the suggestions blindly. Using a while loop instead of a each_with_index probably shouldn't be considered if you're doing a regular Rails project, but maybe if you're doing something very speed dependent such as Rack or if you're building your own framework, you might consider this speed increase.

Installation

gem install fasterer

Usage

Run it from the root of your project:

fasterer
