Re:The Ruby Web Benchmark Report by programminggeek on Tuesday July 15, 2014 @02:30PM (#8038147)
Well that could be true. The intent was for it to be a web benchmark, so benchmarking all the basic ruby web variants.

It's certainly not a pure ruby hello world test, but I think there is a lot of value in testing the infrastructure around Ruby. That has a huge impact on performance.

I don't doubt that other languages have faster application code, but figuring out how much faster vs what the best possible option for the existing code is worth exploring I think.
