rails honesty
from the much-linked Interview with Twitter Developer Alex Payne (Rails scalability issues kerfluffle): I really appreciate when people are honest about their favorite framework.
None of these scaling approaches are as fun and easy as developing for Rails. All the convenience methods and syntactical sugar that makes Rails such a pleasure for coders ends up being absolutely punishing, performance-wise.
There shouldn’t be doubt in anybody’s mind at this point that Ruby itself is slow.
