Looking Into Peephole Optimizations in Ruby

Explore the intricacies of Ruby's code optimization process in this 27-minute conference talk from RubyConf Mini 2022. Delve into the world of peephole optimizations, a technique employed by the Ruby Virtual Machine to enhance bytecode efficiency before execution. Discover how these small-scale optimizations function and their potential impact on Ruby's bytecode execution. Investigate whether these subtle adjustments significantly influence the final runtime performance. No prior experience with reading bytecode is required, making this talk accessible to Ruby developers of all levels eager to gain insights into the language's inner workings and performance optimization techniques.
