That makes me wonder Ruby is the language I'll be stuck with for another 20 years and just be content with a balance between performance of servers and my productivity...


Another 20 years from now, I highly doubt you'd have to even care as much about performance of servers as you do now stemming from the use of a language that keeps you productive.

Remember, hardware is getting more powerful and cheaper.


They are mostly getting faster in parallel, but barely faster sequentially. And the popular dynamic langs are ill suited to take advantage of this.


Nobody cares about performance of servers today. Maybe you have noticed that they are not now programmed with performant languages?
