you must be referring to Rails. sure they can be pretty big, as they are what you call a monolithic framework. thats why i recommend Sinatra for performance conscious devs, as its a fast and minimal framework. and you get to load only what you need. check the github.com/jaequery/jasis github project and peek at the Gemfile / boot.rb to see all that it loads for a full fledged mvc app. its pretty explicit and lean if you ask me. if are talking about server resource then you probably referring to the web server. for which we have ‘puma’ and it is also incredibly light and fast. much lighter than a php stack running Apache and mod_php for sure. but i see you compared to Go to which we have no comparison Go will run circles around Ruby. but Go is not really a well suited environment for web applications yet so ill just leave it at that.
