Whenever we run into an inline cache miss when we try to set
an ivar, we may need to take the global lock, just to be able to
lookup inside `shape->edges`.
To solve that, when we're in multi-ractor mode, we can treat
the `shape->edges` as immutable. When we need to add a new
edge, we first copy the table, and then replace it with
CAS.
This increases memory allocations, however we expect that
creating new transitions becomes increasingly rare over time.
```ruby
class A
def initialize(bool)
@a = 1
if bool
@b = 2
else
@c = 3
end
end
def test
@d = 4
end
end
def bench(iterations)
i = iterations
while i > 0
A.new(true).test
A.new(false).test
i -= 1
end
end
if ARGV.first == "ractor"
ractors = 8.times.map do
Ractor.new do
bench(20_000_000 / 8)
end
end
ractors.each(&:take)
else
bench(20_000_000)
end
```
The above benchmark takes 27 seconds in Ractor mode on Ruby 3.4,
and only 1.7s with this branch.

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://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/maintainers_md.html#label-Platform+Maintainers
