The speed comparison is fascinating. Ruby often takes a hit in these parts for being slow, and the inference is usually versus Java, but hose numbers suggest they’re about the same? (Though I’m a big fan of Rails, it’s a criticism I acknowledge, as I came to it from PHP.) And people blithely never refer to JavaScript’s speed, but this is suggesting that it’s 50% slower than EITHER. My point is that the usual conversation about speed of languages seems to need some adjustment.
