When you're comparing MRI to GHC? Painfully simple GC. Simplistic green thread model (with recent changes, but still fundamentally crippled compared to GHC). Mixed metaphor abstractions in core and stdlib. A very ad-hoc development culture in core. Limited debugging and source-level warning support. No JIT or useful AOT compilation. A thrown-together syntax.
Some of these aren't weaknesses. Others are.

- regularfry 14y agoIf he's making explicit reference to CoW unfriendliness, there's not much ambiguity there.
