The article discusses a recent experience in developer relations, focusing on performance optimization in BoxLang. The author highlights how their file search script, which required inefficient re-indexing, could benefit from parallel execution. By adding a simple argument in BoxLang, loops over arrays and queries can process elements in parallel, improving execution time significantly. An example is provided to illustrate the concept, demonstrating a straightforward way to implement this change, although the author notes that parallel execution may not work in every scenario.
"When you loop over arrays, structures, and queries in BoxLang, you can enable parallel execution by just adding an additional argument to the loop."
"Enabling parallel execution allows for significant performance enhancements, especially in tasks that can be concurrent, such as my file index generation which was previously inefficient."
