Hi,
I just found an interesting benchmark site. I am sure many of you know
about ithttp://shootout.alioth.debian.org/
Ruby is one of the slowest performers among compared languages.
Are there any plans to get better?
Rite (Ruby 2.0) is planned to use a VM. Perhaps YARV or maybe another.
Also, Ruby is generally 'fast enough' for most tasks. For things where
you need more speed it's quite easy to write a C extension either
directly using the Ruby C API (quite easy really) or by using RubyInline
or CGenerator. Often you only need to speed up a few methods in your
whole application by writing them in C.
