# Description Continuing from #12568, this PR further reduces the size of `Expr` from 64 to 40 bytes. It also reduces `Expression` from 128 to 96 bytes and `Type` from 32 to 24 bytes. This was accomplished by: - for `Expr` with multiple fields (e.g., `Expr::Thing(A, B, C)`), merging the fields into new AST struct types and then boxing this struct (e.g. `Expr::Thing(Box<ABC>)`). - replacing `Vec<T>` with `Box<[T]>` in multiple places. `Expr`s and `Expression`s should rarely be mutated, if at all, so this optimization makes sense. By reducing the size of these types, I didn't notice a large performance improvement (at least compared to #12568). But this PR does reduce the memory usage of nushell. My config is somewhat light so I only noticed a difference of 1.4MiB (38.9MiB vs 37.5MiB). --------- Co-authored-by: Stefan Holderbach <sholderbach@users.noreply.github.com> |

nu-protocol
The nu-protocol crate holds the definitions of structs/traits that are used throughout Nushell. This gives us one way to expose them to many other crates, as well as make these definitions available to each other, without causing mutually recursive dependencies.
