Ruby is quicker than Python and that's the most popular programming language there is at the moment.
Do you have any reputable sources for this? All I can find are benchmarks run by companies with clear vested interests in showing one language is faster than the other.
Also, this isn't quite the strongest argument for its performance; popularity hasn't been tied to performance for a long time (see: all those years NodeJS was leading language popularity lists, or Java).

Of course, in the real world it doesn't really matter. Both are used in places where performance doesn't really matter as long as they're fast enough. But anyone with experience with both knows they're both slow (well, some Python fanboys try to pretend otherwise).
- wiseowise 4y agoJava is one of the most performant languages there is, so I’m not sure what’s your point here.
