I stand corrected. I used Ruby for 6 years, up to 2015. I wasn't using Python during those years, but I thought I had heard or read about the 8x speed difference in favor of Python.

For sure, Ruby was slow for what we were doing... processing millions of rows of data was so slow that it caused me to decide to try Go (and the same Go program was hundreds of times faster). But I didn't try Python then.
