## From the post on ruby.social

Right where the book pits a Rabbit against a ScubaArgentine, @peterzhu2118 left a tiny compliment in Japanese:

Peter, the #Figma #Ruby core committer who spends his days teaching the GC new tricks (variable-width allocation, Object Shapes, the things that quietly make every #Rails app a little faster), took a moment off from compacting the heap to write here.
