FAQ

• Why does it analyze all the events?

In the future, we might add an option to trace only a statistically significant portion of the events. We don’t consider this a priority for our use case (ruby2nim) because a porting task is not something that would be ran often and better type information is more important than speed.

• How to pronounce deduckt?

Like the first part of “deductive”, or like getting rid of the duck types in your backyard.
