Follow up: The Computer Language Benchmark Game still only marginally relevant to real world use.

  It's very relevant for some types of programs. For web development, unless you're building the next Twitter, not so important... ...now if you're building a chess engine, that's a different story. (I just take chess as an example as it's my latest hobby. It's the first and only project where I found it necessary to switch to C because of performance considerations (switched from C#).)

    For the various tasks involved in a chess engine Python and Ruby are likely to either be performance equivalent (in that performance doesn't really matter) or entirely unsuitable.

  You opine without reason or justification.
