Looks like I went down, then back up, partly.  

Used to do most stuff in Perl.  Then when I had to later revise my
code that utilized the "OO" features, I was so horrified by what I
had written that I threw it all out and rewrote it in Tcl.  Well, I
also needed the rather simple but effective error/catch for *some*
kind of exceptions handling.  Now I'm learning Ruby.  At least Ruby
did better than Eiffel.

Any chance Ruby performance might improve as the language evolves,
or does the dynamic/OO overhead hold us back from gaining too much
ground?
