What Hacker News says?
Anyone who’s been keeping up with Jekyll (3.7.2) and Ruby (2.5.0) releases has experienced fairly noticeable speed increases without having to change much of anything. The goal is to have Ruby 3 run 3× faster than Ruby 2.0; Ruby 2.5.0 is at 165% of Ruby 2.0 right now: https://appfolio-engineering.squarespace.com/appfolio-engine...
