- Jasruler, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I don't use RoR or even develop sites at all, but I'm going to downmod your comment because you're an ass.
- adolfojp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2So, did they finish implementing unicode yet?
- WhiskerTheMad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Ruby is just too slow for anything outside some high school kids web page."
Oh *****. I better tell our 200 employees and 7500 customers to stop using our site then. It's only been five months, maybe nobody will notice.
Clue for the sarcasm-impaired: You Are An Ass. - avolant, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1are you implying that ruby is "only slightly faster than Javascript!!"?
thats a pretty odd comparison. do you have a link to that... study... or did you just make that up? - alphex, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I'm a novice RoR developer, and thats an awesome link, thanks!
- WhiskerTheMad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Planned for Ruby 2.0, I hear
- sbrown123, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2For all those who don't believe how slow Ruby is, check it out for youself:

Look at the very bottom of the list, right above Javascript. - Modulo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1and amusing to boot "Like any red blooded America, we use Capistrano for deployment." hee hee
- CircleFusion, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2The slowness of the site wouldn't have anything to do with the digg effect, would it?
Nah... couldn't be.
Let's blame Ruby on Rails. - CircleFusion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Here is a good article about it, written on September 25, 2006. It has some quotes from DHH regarding the issue.

- CircleFusion, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Short answer...not in the ideal sense as far as I understand.
I've read that it is planned, but I can't seem to find a roadmap for it.
Unicode is evidently doable in rails in its current form.
All of the 37 signals apps have full i18n support.

- WhiskerTheMad, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Why does digg stick my best smarmy comments in the wrong places?
- promacros, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3i dont think ruby is the godsend everyone hails it to be. theres no focus on how to embed it into html and when you find out you need eruby, theres no help out there to install it.
- Phocion55, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2edit: bah mirror already posted. cool stuff tho.....learning new things about Rails functionality every day
- brentzilla, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1What part of "used by two of CNET's Ruby on Rails powered sites" is that hard to understand???
- sbrown123, on 10/12/2007, -9/+4Gawd my eyes burned waiting for these simple web pages to slowly render. Ruby is just too slow for anything outside some high school kids web page. I looked the other day and noticed that its only slightly faster than Javascript!! I'm sure the My Little Pony..err Ruby kids will downmod my comment since I mentioned high school.
- jagg, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0I don't get it. How is this related to CNet?
(this is a serious question, not a flame)
