Not sure how "overblown" the performance issue is. I rewrote two commercial Rails apps to Phoenix and had both versions of both apps run side by side for two months. The Phoenix apps consumed 7x-11x less RAM, accomodated 9x-10x more users on identical hosting instance, and had almost 10x quicker response time.

Phoenix is written in Elixir -- another dynamic language.

I am willing to argue with facts but you just added another non-factual opinion to the pile.

...Oh, and a Mario game implementation says nothing about the typical production uses of a language and its stack.

That, plus the fact that most Ruby users don't go for Sinatra and Sequel.

I'm not interested in arguing with someone who doesn't respect others opinions, nor did I make baseless claims: I cited resources.

It's true, the mario runthrough was in pure ruby and not rails, and that rails has a slower performance vs. Ruby + Sinatra.

Performance metrics are not opinions.
