I would have expected Microsoft to focus on developer efforts into speeding up Ruby as a language given they are one of a small few large companies that have deep language/compiler expertise.
- wlll 4y agoMuch as I'd like Ruby to be faster it's rarely the bottleneck in most Rails applications, besides, Ruby is becoming faster, it's a lot better than it used to be.
- weatherlight 4y agoIt's usually I/O and dDB calls that are the bottle neck, not the speed of the language. Although, Ruby and be a bit of a memory hog,Ii did hear though, that this got better with the new YJIT in Ruby 3.x.
- Rapzid 4y ago> It's usually I/O and dDB calls that are the bottle neck Not in my experience.
- weatherlight 4y agoIn a Ruby on Rails app?
- ksec 4y agoUnfortunately Github is the only product that uses Ruby inside Microsoft. So their incentive is pretty small. I do wish someone inside Github could push M$ to spend some money and collaborate with Shopify on their JIT effort though.
- kovacs 4y agoThat's actually not true. There's at least one other product at MS that uses ruby... Yammer. Although I'm not sure how much more incentive that would add for MS.
