Incoming long post about Elixir sub binary pattern matching!

I need to drastically improve the performance issues with my Elixir JSON library so that it can work for more use cases and maybe gain some more popularity.

You can see how bad it is here: Benchmark Results

One thing I will not do is sacrifice code quality for speed.

PRO TIP: when running benchmarks and you are using the elixir standard Logger lib, you should put the following in your config file:

config :logger, compile_time_purge_level: :debug

This makes the compiler remove all Logger calls at compile time, saving you a lot of headaches.

You can follow progress here: https://github.com/cblage/elixir-json/pull/52

Over and out,

Obama plans EU referendum intervention

This is bound the end well. The Brits are as proud as they come, and having the US meddle in their internal affairs (no matter how the good the intentions might be) is sure going to help them make their mind rolls eyes.

As an European Federalist, I hope the UK stays in the Union, but this should be a decision made by the British, for the sake of their own people and their interests. Let’s keep outsiders from interfering with what I consider to be one of the most sacred rights in the world: the right for self-determination.

Obama, please stay out of what is a British and European internal affair, thanks!
