Ruby's GIL will get in your way when working with real world apps. Also in this recent run gin doubles Sinatra's performance

Interesting! Thanks.

CRuby's GIL doesn't really matter for serving web requests since it's run with one process per core like NodeJS is. It's less memory efficient but doesn't really affect throughput so much. Also, JRuby has no GIL.
