Arcueid 0.1.1 released
Well, that was a bit fast. Arcueid 0.1.1 is released. You can download it here.
This is just a bugfix release, but it is a rather significant one, as this is the first version of Arcueid that can actually run news.arc completely. There were several subtle bugs in 0.1.0 that caused it to fail to run news.arc correctly before, most notably involving the way that it handles ssyntax and its treatment of the andf operator. These have been fixed and now news.arc can run properly.
It is sorely lacking in performance however, and it’s probably unstable, but I hope to address all of those in forthcoming releases. The current version gives the following timings when running news.arc with ApacheBench:

Rather dismal I’m sorry to say, but a large part of that seems to be the garbage collector, which is run much too aggressively, and turning off the garbage collector increases performance rather dramatically:

I’ll be working on improving garbage collection performance and other improvements over the next few releases, as well as addressing some stability issues observed over the testing I’ve been doing.
