Subject: Re: Possible  opportunity for Rails development

Oh, for Pete's sake. I actually read that Tim Bray entry when it came 
out on Thursday ... and by Friday I had no memory of it at all. I think 
I need a vacation.

Anyway, I do wonder if Ruby is the right solution for this. In theory, 
you can write your code in an easy-to-write language, and then optimize 
as you need to. I've done this a lot, though it's always in fields 
where the business requirements are volatile. Weblogs.com might 
represent a case where the business requirements are fairly fixed and 
the speed requirement is known up front, which might mean in the end 
you'll win out by writing in a faster, harsher language.
