Ruby is SLOW, and by design it is never going to be anywhere near
the speed or scalability of java. That being the case however,
with the JVM there is nothing stopping you from using WebObjects
with JRuby, Jython, Groovy, etc. You just need to be prepared to
write the extra veneer code to make them integrate smoothly.
Remember that Java wasn't fast from the beginning ?
That wasn't really the point I was getting at, you don't NEED ruby to
be as fast as java, nor do you need to rewrite your java code in ruby
when you can use JRuby along side native java code in the same
virtual machine. It should be just a matter of writing the necessary
glue to make the integration as seamless as possible.
Indeed, java wasn't fast, but it wasn't slow for the same reasons as
ruby or other dynamic language. There are changes afoot to bring
improvements to the JVM for dynamic languages like JRuby which should
offer noticeable performance gains, but it will still have a
significant runtime overhead compared to native java code.
