I think the GP just showed that in a particular scenario, Ruby isn’t “radically slower” than Go. So how is the comparison not relevant?
replyThanks! That was exactly my point. The ruby community has made many performance improvements since 2.0, including JIT compilation, fibers and ractors.
replyIt was mostly HTTP/JSON tests with some sort of validation, basic auth and logging. I think Ruby is used the most for this. I see many companies switching from Ruby to Go or FastAPI for this basic web services stuff, and I have no idea why. Ruby needs to improve its memory management, but the speed is pretty good.
