The document discusses the performance of Ruby and Rails frameworks. While Ruby is acknowledged to be a slower language, several contributors note that performance improvements are underway and hardware continues to get faster. Merb 2.0 is presented as focusing on modularity, integration, and rapid prototyping. Contributors are thanked for their work on Merb.
Merb Camp Keynote
- 1. Merb Lessons Learned & Where Do We Go From Here
- 2. Engine Yard
- 3. Ruby is slow
- 4. Its also worth mentioning that there shouldnt be doubt in anybodys mind at this point that Ruby itself is slow. Its great that people are hard at work on faster implementations of the language, but right now, its tough. Alex Payne, Twitter
- 5. Does this discourage me from Ruby or Rails? Hell no. To me the elegance of the language completely dominates its 鍖aws... Ill wait for the performance and scale issues to be 鍖xed in subsequent releases Daniel Miessler
- 6. You will also 鍖nd that Ruby is one of the slowest languages in existence. Sam (harparkrat@gmail.com)
- 7. quot;Ruby is slowquot;: a JIT is under development, the VM has a lot of room for performance improvements, and hardware keeps getting faster. Java was slow for the hadware that existed when it was originally created. Luis (lcrespom@gmail.com)
- 8. I for one am scared of Ruby because ... it's known to be slow, so if you become The Next MySpace, you'll be buying 5 times as many boxes as the .NET guy down the hall. Joel Spolsky
- 9. Rails is for the vast majority of web applications Fast Enough... I just happen to care much more about free developer cycles and am willing to trade the former for the latter. David Heinemeier Hansson
- 10. Would you rather come to market late on the back of an inferior development environment (asp.net) or make it to market 鍖rst with a superior development system and work to alleviate the scalability issues? Jim Jones, RunFatBoy.net
- 11. Ruby is so embarassing.
- 12. To Summarize
- 13. Rails is slow.
- 14. Ruby is slow.
- 15. The slowest programming language in the world
- 16. Our response?
- 17. Its ok.
- 20. WTF!
- 21. Someone must have done some benchmarks, right?
- 23. Simple, real app
- 24. raw PHP: 331 rps
- 25. cakephp: 3.6
- 27. 88 rps. With Rails.
- 29. Lets try and replicate with Merb
- 30. Hello world.
- 31. Merb
- 32. Merb Static HTML
- 33. Merb Static HTML PHP
- 34. Merb Static HTML PHP Cake
- 35. While were on the topic of benchmarks
- 36. Merb router Merb controller Sinatra Rails
- 37. Merb router Merb controller Sinatra Rails CakePHP
- 38. We dont need to be embarassed
- 40. The future...
- 41. Merb 2.0
- 42. Modular
- 43. Integrated
- 44. Its hard
- 45. Yep.
- 46. Django.
- 49. Edit Your DB (Auto-admin)
- 50. Admin Hooks for Slices
- 51. Admin Hooks for Slices (central /admin)
- 53. Possible to build stacks with AR/Prototype
- 55. Process
- 56. 1.0 is a stake in the ground
- 57. 1.x are back-compatible, stable experiments
- 58. We will run the 1.0 public spec suite against 1.x releases
- 59. We will support 1.0 via 1.0.x
- 60. Once 1.2 is released, only 1.0 and 1.2 are supported with bug 鍖xes.
- 61. We will backport security patches to 1.x until 2.0.
- 62. Public API means extensive community involvement
- 63. Keep an eye on slices
- 64. To summarize:
- 65. To summarize: Merb 2.0 is about Rapid Prototyping
- 66. To summarize: Merb 2.0 is still metal
- 67. Opt-out should be granular
- 68. Legos
- 69. Legos vs. Duplos
- 70. Want to get involved?
- 72. Work on the wiki
- 73. Help test RC1
- 74. Report missing functionality in @api public
- 75. Experiment
- 76. Report success
