| > What is wrong with accepting a simple ground truth Where am I denying that? Saying that one of the most dynamic language is slower than Java or Go it's such a truism it's pointless. What annoys me is the figures quoted. I can craft you benchmarks were Ruby is barely any slower than these two, or benchmark where it's 1000x slower. So which is the correct number to quote? > For Rails I often compare to it another CRUD app, StackExchange [1] using ASP.net This makes zero sense. You said: > If you compare pure Ruby without Rails to fast language like Rust, Go and Java. It is probably closer to 10-20x. > The 100x to 200x mainly comes from Rails. So somehow you are blaming Rails for making Ruby 10 times slower whatever that means. That is a stupid statement that you took out of your hats and that doesn't reflect any reality. Please stop doing that, it's really unnerving for the people who maintain these projects. |

I will leave it at that.
