Racket seems to be really neat with support for features like JIT and futures (which have been around before 5.1). The other day I tried a simple benchmark (nothing elaborate - just fib) and found it to be significantly faster than Python.

I have to agree. I don't really mind seeing articles like this on HN sometimes and I confess I submit some articles like this at times. The discussion here is what I am really interested in.

I tried Perl and moved to Python. With Ruby, I really like what I see. Unfortunately, I have spent quite a bit of time with Python and know it too well to want to move.

As someone who doesn't know much about MailChimp, the original question seems valid. A little more detailed answer (like the one by qeorge) would have helped me understand this better. As you work at MailChimp, it would have helped if you w

I wouldn't say that. Perl 5 is quite an amazing language once you get used to the syntax and begin to grok it. I say this as a Python programmer who has only recently begun to seriously learn Perl as my day job demands it. Earlier, I had us

I would love to use 3.x but went with 2.7.x as I need Django, and cx_Oracle. Django is 2.x only, I haven't really checked cx_Oracle.

I have to agree. I am also mainly a Python programmer who had dabbled a bit in Ruby, but in the above examples, Ruby is definitely nicer. I mentioned some of the reasons I stuck with Python here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1941594
