Not a possiblity: each plugin considers the entire ledger and transforms it as a whole. Many plugins depend on doing so. Also: plugins aren’t the primary performance bottleneck anyway.

Clojure transducers compose, so if you have a number of plugins, the limabean plugin framework loops once over all the directives, passing each directive through the whole chain of plugins. I noticed that with the way plugins have been implemented in OG Beancount, each plugin iterates over the entire list of directives. And then the next plugin does the same, and so on. I wonder if there is the potential here for iterating just once, and passing each directive through the chain of plugins? Just to be clear, I'm only throwing this idea out. I won't be working on this! 😅 cheers, Simon PS. Upon reflection, it may not be very low hanging! But worth considering for vNext, surely. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
