Not quite. He's saying that people who think Ruby is slow are often people who have no idea how to performance-tune it.

- bpicolo 14y agoWell, more of the time it's because Ruby actually is, in fact, slow.
- pjmlp 14y agoI though the implementations were slow or fast, not the languages.
- codygman 14y agoTypically a language is considered slow or fast based on it's most popular implementation, sadly.
- ajanuary 14y agoTrue, though language design can have implications on how fast things can be implemented.
- pjmlp 14y agoAgreed, but it is still an implementation issue, because one can eventually discover ways to optimize such cases without changing the language.
- sabat 14y agoRuby is not, in fact, slow. This myth has been debunked so many times that I'll just leave the googling to you as an exercise.
