All good points.

You know with all this discussion of Ruby's performance problems as of
late, I wonder what people will find to complain about once those issues
are solved?

Hmmm: "Hi, I'm a software contractor who recently switched to Ruby, and it
is killing my profit margins. Previously when using Java it would take be
days to produce a solution that Ruby allows me to do in hours! Now I have
to find more clients and more jobs to get the same profits I had before.
What can be done about this?"

Hehehe, just a thought.
