I didn't downvote you but you waded into a holy war.
The main charge that python and ruby launch at each other is that the other is slow, then it doesn't matter because server costs are cheaper than human costs, then something about time to maintain and add features are the true costs and so on.
So when you mention anything about those languages being slow, and someone just walked out of a four day internet dispute on reddit...
- weberc2 8y agoLol, thanks for the explanation. Usually the Python people just say, "Yeah, Python is slow; just write the hotpath in C", which is somewhat disingenuous but they aren't exactly denying that Python is slow (which is why I assumed my point of view was pretty garden-variety).
