The speed of Ruby and Java [closed]

Question

In every benchmark that I found on the web it seems that Ruby is slow, much slower than Java. The Ruby folks just state that it doesn't matter. Could you give me any example that the speed of Ruby on Rails (and the Ruby itself) really doesn't matter?

Answer 1

You should really only concern yourself with whether or not Ruby on Rails will be fast enough for your use case. To that end, it's certainly fast enough for all of these folks.
