Subject: Re: Is ruby is faster than all Object oriented Scripting lan

I agree these discussions are moot.

Hopefully the one who started it will reply, so far it looks 
suspiciously as if it only served 7stud as further opportunity for 
writing some more anti-ruby propaganda.

The biggest problem here is that for any application where one chooses 
Python for SPEED it is hardly a convincing issue at hand. I dare claim 
that ruby fits EXACTLY the same niche in the ecosystem. Look at 
Javascript - it is not a great language, but it had a huge growth - 
simply because the www grew and Javascript was ubiquitous.

It never ceases to amaze me how people put speed of "scripting" 
languages into the center of attraction - one should go with lua if 
speed is such a concern.

Or maybe pure C if it needs to be faster!
