> Like Python? Ruby is comparable in performance. Only on a cursory glance... python has pypy, cython, greenlets, twisted, numpy/pandas/scipy, and dozens of game engines of varying quality. You can write high quality, high performance python code that fits right in with the rest of the community. Ruby performance is a joke. It doesn't even ship with a useful memory or performance profiler, hence New Relic's existence. You're correct, it's a great DSL language, and performance shouldn't matter at that level.
