There's more information about the ebook on my website, and I wanted to share one more snippet from the introduction with you now:
Throughout this ebook, I'll also describe another passion of mine and the area of my life where I learned the most about the necessity of space efficiency: backpacking. I've backpacked over 2,000 miles, always carrying everything I need with me in my pack. From a tent and sleeping bag to a carefully orchestrated water filtration system, I need to be intentional about what I bring and how I use and reuse it. I obsessively go through my gear, checking what I no longer need in order to make space for new items. My backpack for any camping trip is a finely tuned demonstration of space efficiency. I'll refer to it throughout this ebook in an attempt to make the concepts of Ruby garbage collection more understandable.
Lastly, Nate Berkopec and I recently merged a PR into Ruby which adds more documentation about GC.stat. If you were enjoying the emails about GC.stat, here's the new documentation in Ruby's source code. It'll be live in Ruby docs after the next Ruby release.
Sent with love from somewhere in the woods,
