Execution speed of your server code is critically important in today's atmosphere. It's a lot easier to scale an application than the database behind it (e.g, spin up a few more VMS/containers vs. partitioning your db - one is a 2 minute task, the other a bohemian effort).
That being said, I enjoy Ruby a lot, and mostly enjoy working on Rails codebases (depends on how the front end is built, as Rails particularly _doesn't_ prescribe any form of convention here). I wish they worked on improving the front end story like Laravel has.

- toasterlovin 8y agoIf it's easy to scale your application servers horizontally, then language execution speed isn't very critical. Speed is critical for the things which are hard to scale (like your data store). And everyone is coming at this conversation like caching isn't a thing that you do on any high-traffic site (and lots of low-traffic ones too).
