I'm curios, what's the baseline like here for Ruby? I.e. how does vanilla ruby compare to something like Go or Rust for a use-case like webservices?
- kevincox 5y agoVery roughly Ruby is about 20-40x slower than C. It used to be quite a bit slower but there has been a lot of performance work in the past handful of years. Go is about 2x slower than C. Rust is about the speed of C.
