That's quite a weird angle. Surely I can express unhappiness about a product's performance without being asked to fix it or to shut up?

- bhauer 13y agoI think we're on the same side here. We've measured the performance of the fundamentals of web applications on two Ruby implementations (MRI, JRuby) and both perform poorly, as compared to the rest of the field. area51org says that Ruby's reputation of slowness is undeserved. I feel our data confirms the reputation. In fact, I don't think there's much room for improvement by tweaking our tests, but I figured I'd make the solicitation anyway to keep an open mind about it. I'm not asking you to fix it or shut up, especially since I feel your point of view is corroborated by the data. I am asking, however, for those who say Ruby's reputation is undeserved to consider providing some evidence for that point of view. And one conceivable way to do that would be to improve our Ruby tests.
