Performance has always been a finger in Ruby's eye, but with 1.9 that doesn't seem the case.
Regarding libraries; you are right. Ruby has a lot of code out there, but much of it is in random repositories maintained by random people. Hopefully this changes.
- ptomato 17y agoThough it must be said, rubygems is miles ahead of anything available for python.
- nailer 17y agoCan you explain more? Is there better native packaging (deb/rpm) etc support?
- sho 17y agoRubygems is a separate system from deb/rpm, but works roughly the same way. Typically it doesn't do binary packaging the way they do it, though, and if native (non-ruby) code is required it is compiled during the install.
- caffeine 17y agoI'm not convinced that's true, as the depth and quality of rubygems are inferior to the depth and quality of eggs available in python. Find me e.g. a "gem install scipy" equivalent for Ruby. However - "easy_uninstall scipy" REALLY needs to work!
