- AndrewDucker 15y agoPossibly. But I'd like to see that proven.
- 0xEA 15y agoOnce your code base gets to a certain size, the feature set gets big enough, and the maintenance starts stacking up, you need a more robust language. Sure, plenty of web apps can run fine on Ruby, but even then, many of them start looking towards a language thats easier to maintain.
- mseebach 15y agoGood developers can move fast in Java, bad developers will move slow and screw up, even in Ruby.
- theshadow 15y agoObviously, every Java project with hundreds of thousands lines of code can be written by 2 developers in Ruby in a weekend ;)
