But ruby is too slow!
1 comments

Lots of their code is in Go
Way way way more of our code in Ruby.

Go (and now Rust) is really only used for very low level services with a high SLA (Like Infrastructure). Almost all business logic is Ruby + Rails.

True but you’re still putting significant investment into ruby to speed it up. Ruby is slow.

I don’t think any other company could do that.
