speed. I work with several languages and I'm pretty
sure Ruby is the
slowest (execution). Java is definitely faster at
most things and
even Perl is significantly quicker in my
experiments.Don't get me wrong, I adore Ruby. I do believe it's
very fast to
code in, but for execution speed, well, there's a

I wouldn't know since I never actually sat down to
benchmark anything in ruby, but in my experience it is
fast enough to do the /extremely/ complex
configuration of the server setup for a /very/ large
Scandinavian bank without even giving pause for
reflection. Fast I guess is a relative concept, but my
users love it.
