# Description
This speeds up writing messages to the plugin, because otherwise every
individual piece of the messages (not even the entire message) is
written with one syscall, leading to a lot of back and forth with the
kernel.
I learned this by running `strace` to debug something and saw a ton of
`write()` calls.
```nushell
# Before
1..10 | each { timeit { example seq 1 10000 | example sum } } | math avg
269ms 779µs 149ns
# After
> 1..10 | each { timeit { example seq 1 10000 | example sum } } | math avg
39ms 636µs 643ns
```

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.
