f(*a, **kw)
`f(*a, **kw)` is compiled to `f([*a, kw])` but it makes an dummy array, so change it to pass two arguments `a` and `kw` with calling flags. ``` ruby 3.2.0 (2022-12-29 revision a7d467a792) [x86_64-linux] Calculating ------------------------------------- foo() 15.354M (± 4.2%) i/s - 77.295M in 5.043650s dele() 13.439M (± 3.9%) i/s - 67.109M in 5.001974s dele(*) 6.265M (± 4.5%) i/s - 31.730M in 5.075649s dele(*a) 6.286M (± 3.3%) i/s - 31.719M in 5.051516s dele(*a, **kw) 1.926M (± 4.5%) i/s - 9.753M in 5.076487s dele(*, **) 1.927M (± 4.2%) i/s - 9.710M in 5.048224s dele(...) 5.871M (± 3.9%) i/s - 29.471M in 5.028023s forwardable 4.969M (± 4.1%) i/s - 25.233M in 5.087498s ruby 3.3.0dev (2023-01-13T01:28:00Z master 7e8802fa5b) [x86_64-linux] Calculating ------------------------------------- foo() 16.354M (± 4.7%) i/s - 81.799M in 5.014561s dele() 14.256M (± 3.5%) i/s - 71.656M in 5.032883s dele(*) 6.701M (± 3.8%) i/s - 33.948M in 5.074938s dele(*a) 6.681M (± 3.3%) i/s - 33.578M in 5.031720s dele(*a, **kw) 4.200M (± 4.4%) i/s - 21.258M in 5.072583s dele(*, **) 4.197M (± 5.3%) i/s - 21.322M in 5.096684s dele(...) 6.039M (± 6.8%) i/s - 30.355M in 5.052662s forwardable 4.788M (± 3.2%) i/s - 24.033M in 5.024875s ```
What is Ruby?
Ruby is an interpreted object-oriented programming language often used for web development. It also offers many scripting features to process plain text and serialized files, or manage system tasks. It is simple, straightforward, and extensible.
Features of Ruby
- Simple Syntax
- Normal Object-oriented Features (e.g. class, method calls)
- Advanced Object-oriented Features (e.g. mix-in, singleton-method)
- Operator Overloading
- Exception Handling
- Iterators and Closures
- Garbage Collection
- Dynamic Loading of Object Files (on some architectures)
- Highly Portable (works on many Unix-like/POSIX compatible platforms as well as Windows, macOS, etc.) cf. https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/doc/maintainers.md#platform-maintainers
