Without a cite, perhaps because it's not really true. Ruby's performance is similar to python's. Granted, neither one is going to win any competitions, although I'm not sure what the field of "major languages" is.

It's not just that they won't win any speed competitions, but that Ruby and Python are bound to come in last place. The only question is, which one comes in last and which 2nd to last. Runners up include Perl, PHP, and sometimes non-JIT Lua. Choose any benchmark, the results are consistent: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/index.html https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...
- igouy 11mo agoChoose any benchmark and line-by-line transliterate the programs to really make that point: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/performance/comparable.html https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...
- ModernMech 11mo agoThe point is that if anyone could submit a faster implementation by now they would have. The posted numbers are as good as it gets.
- igouy 11mo agoThat's purely speculation.
