GSOC 2018

Hello, I plan to submit a proposal in the GSOC this year for Ruby on Rails, so I would like to ask some questions first, reading more about the rails I have seen that some of the I/O operations are done in a single thread, I would like to know if this is really true (I could not identify in the code), the second one, if this is true, I think using multi thread in these operations would improve the performance of the framework, so would that be a good proposal?

Hello,

Actually I/O is implemented in Ruby ; Rails only relies on it in its source code. As far as I know, someone is already trying to re-implement I/O here but I don't know how far it is in the specification/implementation process neither whether there's been any "official" discussion around that.

Ruby is also participating as a GSoC organization so maybe you can rather post a message on their mailing list and see what's their opinion their !
