OCaml, Ada, C, C#, Perl, French ... I think all of these things are 
rather misplaced here. Isn't this about Ruby? The fact is that one needs 
to choose a language that best meets their project requirements, 
however, it does not seem  that Vetrivel was searching for a language, 
he was not happy with Ruby performance, full stop! He more likely is 
searching for answers in general, and he as also some who responded, do 
not quite understand what are the drawbacks and what are the true 
benefits of using such a powerful tool as Ruby. Ruby is setting the 
standards of contemporary computing. C#, which is in many ways a clone 
of Ruby is evidently is a prominent proof of this. Still, nothing comes 
close to the simplicity, elegance, power and indeed the overall 
performance and primarily the productivity of designers and programmers 
that work with Ruby.
