Ruby is great but its VM is no match for JVM. Still a kid on the block recently started experimenting with JIT. Its a long way to go before YARV can come close

Ruby is great but its VM is no match for JVM. Still a kid on the block recently started experimenting with JIT. Its a long way to go before YARV can come close to JVM Performance.
- agumonkey 8y agooh I knew, it's not about perf, it's about perspective. Kinda like python.. Last week I've read some physicist saying he stopped cpp after 15 years to write python. It was more human friendly to write python and few performant bits in C than dealing with cpp culture. I'm sure that's the same for Java.
- divs1210 8y agowe are talking about the platform - the JVM - not the Java language. You can run Python, Ruby, JS, Clojure etc. on the JVM apart from Java.
