- igouy 7y ago> most of the time, in most tests That isn't something which can be checked, just stuff someone said.
- mnutt 7y agoI wasn't trying to assert that ruby is faster, just trying to correct the notion that python is an inherently faster language than ruby. If I look at a composite benchmark like debian's and don't see one leading by an order of magnitude, I file that away as "probably about the same speed, depends on your use case"
