    I'm a Nintendo die hard fan boy, I don't care about speed. I learned how to "code" in ColdFusion. I am all for the underdog POV. We're talking about performance because of the cont…

    It doesn't answer the question of why you would choose Ruby. Honestly, you all sound like you got a Sega Genesis for Christmas, while everyone else got a SNES. You can tell other k…

    Most of your comment is about what you think I think, and not a lot about metrics, data or examples where Ruby performs beyond my interpretation. I think that says a lot right ther…

    You're literally the exact person I'm talking about. No serious application developer who's interested in speed is working in Ruby. This isn't my opinion. I don't care personally, …

    I'm so glad that you said this and weren't downvoted into the ground. Honestly, Ruby needs to die. It performs like a go cart in a Formula 1 race. I'm actually just exhausted watch…

    But the instrument for measuring doesn’t change. That’s what makes it dependable, predictable and something to measure against. You can’t measure against a moving target.

    Does a tape measure change?

    Can IQ be considered a scientific measurement, when a coffee or a bad sleep can affect the outcome? What do people here think?

    The word used was "open", and you wouldn't be able to force a company to open itself to intellectual theft at the hands of a foreign government. You're reducing a complex legal/rig…

    How would a Canadian government force an American company to be more open?

    Facebook, Instagram, etc. are not "open", so the argument doesn't work.

    I don’t know Russian. Your point doesn’t line up with the topic at all. I know Ruby. I still think it’s unreadable. Can you try next time? I feel incredibly sorry for the poor kids…
