I once re-wrote a non-trivial program in ruby that was originally written in C. The performance and scale of the ruby version was considerably better. Could it have been even better in C? Probably, but it was a lot easier to conceptualize and properly choose the architectural features that made the difference using ruby. These days I would have done the rewrite in golang, and had the best of both worlds.
