On Distributing Command Line Applications: Why I Switched From Ruby to Go

WTF.... I just looked a bit closer at this, and for starters the graphs are for startup times compared to JRuby, and isn labelled with any values. They say nothing about the performance of the actual code.

Furthermore, it appears to be a commercial product, yet searching for it reveals only a handful of link to their own site, and hardly no mentions elsewhere and the examples/docs are pitiful at best.

Looking quite shady to me.

Hi, thanks for your frank comments.

the graphs are for startup times compared to JRuby

The first graph compares startup times. The second graph compares execution times. This has now been clarified on the site.

the examples/docs are pitiful at best

Working on it! What would you like the docs to address specifically?

I'm sorry you feel that way. Would you like a free evaluation license?
