  • Comparing Ruby vs JVM isn't a bit like Apples and Oranges? I guess he meant to say MRI everytime he said Ruby.

    Now. what about Ruby(the language) on top of JVM? Is JRuby in JVM 7 performing better than MRI?

  • YEp, the jvm rules. They're doing a good job at being pragmati c at twitter.

  • @intellectable isn't it spelled Clojure? Talk about hyping something you don't even know anything about :D

  • Did they contribute those gc patches to the ruby community?

  • Good talk. I've been a professional Ruby dev for the last five years and, yeah, I agree Twitter has probably has outgrown Ruby. Most businesses need maximal productivity and quality to even get to the point where Twitter-level scaling is a problem. I'll be Mr. Productivity and play Mr. Scaling creatively when that's my biggest challenge.

    His point that Ruby can't effectively do many requests in parallel and then aggregate them together is erroneous. I wonder if he's even aware of EventMachine.

  • @unmarshal Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

  • twitter's problem is they designed an asynchronous messaging system on top of SQL. it was fundamentally doomed from the beginning.

  • scala is the language java should have been.
