dominates the enterprise landscape?
"Let's face the facts: Ruby is too slow," Bray told delegates. He says Ruby 1.8.6 - which dominates the enterprise landscape - is up to 20 times slower than Java.
i dont know when was RoR started to dominate the enterprise landscape. Tim Bray is blinded with RoR's 5 minutes videos he cannot see the facts right. Anybody who plans to do a real fast, multiuser, multi threaded server side application should avoid RoR, or Ruby. According to my tests Ruby is many times hundred of times slower than Java, not 20. (Except some IO operations and regular expressions)
