From: Jeremy Evans Date: 2010-12-04T16:28:02+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:33562] [Ruby 1.9-Feature#4068] Replace current standard Date/DateTime library with home_run Issue #4068 has been updated by Jeremy Evans. switch_hitter looks great. I still don't think the Date class should handle fractional dates, but it's true that doing so will increase compatibility with the current standard date library. I fully support switch_hitter replacing the current standard date library after it is ready. I think switch_hitter will get close to home_run's performance in most cases, since it takes a similar approach (DateLightData is home_run's data structure plus the sg field). I only recommend looking at home_run's Date#strftime, Date._strptime, and Date._parse implementations, since those are the methods unrelated to the core data structure that are very slow in the current standard date library and much faster in home_run. ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/4068 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
