QUOTE: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- How do you know that both Ruby and Java are not both too slow? How do you know that both Ruby and Java are not both way fast enough? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, have any of you played any kind MORPG? Ever heard of lag? I hate lag and I want little of it as possible. But I guess that also depends on the quality of the code. QUOTE: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Programmers should write clear code (in a clear language) and never try to guess what will be slow. It's easier to make clear code fast than make fast code clear. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- You've got a point there. That just revised my thinking. QUOTE: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm wondering why some programmers with little experience (at least in Ruby) want to program a MMORPG in Ruby... IIRC the last questions on the subject didn't even specify if they were speaking of the client or the server side (or do they already have a fully decentralised MMORPG architecture working in their head?). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, I guess I over exaggerated by saying "MMORPG". But don't a lot of people with their games (they have a small community and still call it a MMORPG)? I guess I'm talking like that now. It's not going to be to big (I think) but it will hopefully draw interest. I don't plan on immediately making the game. I'm going to spend a very long time learning the language. Thanks for all the feedback everyone. Now I will decide. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
