python will always be faster for dealing with a lot of numbers and data. ruby has jit in mri now, and other implementations can get really fast but it depends on what you're doing. it excels at all the shit people used to do in perl and php.
>>101438768
php got a lot faster after everyone started ditching it. i guess its a similar story with ruby.
>>101438200
other languages have had worse breakages. I've had more annoyance with crystal breaking as it stabilized. Crystal is pretty good for sure, as a mid-point between the ease of Ruby and going to something more serious with more development cost. useful typing just aint really gonna happen in ruby. The Crystal standard library is better than Rubys now too

Pythonfag here, should I learn Ruby if I want to make a personal website? Is it that much better for that use case?
