# Description Adds a `Box` around the `ImportPattern` in `Expr` which decreases the size of `Expr` from 152 to 64 bytes (and `Expression` from 216 to 128 bytes). This seems to speed up parsing a little bit according to the benchmarks (main is top, PR is bottom): ``` benchmarks fastest │ slowest │ median │ mean │ samples │ iters benchmarks fastest │ slowest │ median │ mean │ samples │ iters ├─ parser_benchmarks │ │ │ │ │ ├─ parser_benchmarks │ │ │ │ │ │ ├─ parse_default_config_file 2.287 ms │ 4.532 ms │ 2.311 ms │ 2.437 ms │ 100 │ 100 │ ├─ parse_default_config_file 2.255 ms │ 2.781 ms │ 2.281 ms │ 2.312 ms │ 100 │ 100 │ ╰─ parse_default_env_file 421.8 µs │ 824.6 µs │ 494.3 µs │ 527.5 µs │ 100 │ 100 │ ╰─ parse_default_env_file 402 µs │ 486.6 µs │ 414.8 µs │ 416.2 µs │ 100 │ 100 ```
Nushell core libraries and plugins
These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.
Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:
- Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
- Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.
Plugins are likewise also split into two types:
- Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
- Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
