I have not looked at the Ruby side in a while. I know the 1.8 series put Ruby as one of the slowest of the dynamic language but vaguely remember that being worked on. Had 1.9.X brought a good speed improvement?
- texel 16y agoThere are a lot of projects aiming to fix that, but yes, YARV is a great improvement on the speed front. Synthetic benchmarks being what they are, it looks promising: http://rubychan.de/share/yarv_speedups.html http://rubychan.de/share/yarv_speedups.html
- philwelch 16y agoRuby 1.8 uses MRI (Matz's Ruby Interpreter), which is indeed slow. Ruby 1.9 throws out the old MRI code entirely in favor of YARV (Yet Another Ruby VM), aka KRI (Koichi's Ruby Interpreter), which is considerably faster.
