 This is a rust extension for finding all the matches in a text.
 It's a simple extension that is used in one part of our codebase and this extension makes it substantially faster.
 
-The following text assumes you're in the `xre` directory inside `clearscope` project.
+## Why?
 
-## How to build rust code localy:
+The main reason for this extension is that we have a unique use case where we need to find all captures
+with their respectful offsets in a large text and we need to do this for a huge number of regexes and texts.
+This is a slow operation in ruby since the regular `scan` does not provide the actual captures,
+but only the offsets. This extension provides the captures and offsets in a single call for a
+list of regexes to avoid the overhead of calling the regex engine multiple times.
+
+Moreover, another part of the problem is that we also require the surrounding text of the capture
+with some radius, which is also not possible with the regular `scan` method without resorting to iterating
+the whole text multiple times.
+
+> 🤓
+> Another a bit more technical reason for why the rust extension is faster is that ruby strings are
+> indexed in characters(`O(n)`), but rust strings are indexed in bytes(`O(1)`). And with a careful
+> iteration over the characters on the rust side(see `regex_list.rs#captures_with_context` and `utils.rs#find_char_index`) as we go through the text we can avoid multiple(`n`)
+> `O(n)` operations that ruby would have to do, reducing the algorithmic complexity from
+> `O(n^2)` to `O(n)` for one regex, and from `O(m * n^2)` to `O(m * n)`(where `m` and `n` are the number
+> of regexes and the number of texts respectfuly) for multiple regexes.
+
+## Developing:
+
+The simplest way to develop the gem locally without reinstalling the gem is to just:
+
+1. change the
+   `gem "xre"` in the `Gemfile` to `gem "xre", path: "xre"`
+2. run `bundle install`
+
+and you're good to go. Just change the code(then compile the rust code if you changed it, more on that below),
+go into `rails c` and hack away.
+
+Another simple way is to:
+
+1. change the gem code(then, once again, compile the rust code if you changed it)
+2. go into `rails c` or the console of your choosing
+3. run `require_relative "xre/lib/xre"`
+
+all done.
+
+> 💡Note: _The following part of the readme assumes that you're in the `xre` directory inside `clearscope` project._

-## How to publish the gem:
-
-First, increment the version in the `lib/xre/version.rb` file according to the semantic versioning rules.
-
-Then build the gem and push it to rubygems:
-
-```bash
-rake build
-gem push pkg/xre-<version>-gem
-```
+## Publishing:
 
-> Note, currently only [`barseek`](https://github.com/Vagab) has access to the rubygems account, so you might need to ask him to publish the gem.
-> As soon as this changes and we get a team rubygems account the README will be updated.
+The codebase includes `xre/Rakefile` which in turn defines a `gem:native`
+task that compiles the extension for the `x86_64-linux`, `x86_64-darwin`, and `arm64-darwin`
+and puts the compiled gems into `xre/pkg/` directory, from where one should
+`gem push xre-<version>-x86_64-linux.gem` to publish the gem.
