What's up, RMers?

I had a strange conversation tonight. First some game developers starting talking about some plugin that ended up being some RGSS script. One said Ruby is slow... Yeah, I've heard that many times before, but guess what? It wasn't that slow plus the Ruby Core Team put a lot of effort in making it faster even if the Rails and general Ruby community didn't feel like that was their top most concern. Of course, who would say no to some speedup? So I told them about the main advantage of new Ruby versions. Then the same guy said that he didn't say Ruby was slow... Oh you didn't? What a lousy memory he's got lately. =_= He wanted to rephrase it by stating running Ruby on Javascript would make it run slow. Halt! That's isn't true, you know? Rails and Sinatra already prove that for they run Ruby on a daily basis and are quite responsive and kind of popular for server backend development. You can embed some Ruby code in a webpage and let Ruby interpret it. And he came once again... It was a problem to make the interpreter run on a website... Hey! Rails and Sinatra already run thanks to a Ruby interpreter! If you don't believe me go ask Heroku guys!
