Ruby is slow (but can be fast). I am stupid (but can work on it).

This presentation made be realize two things:

  1. Ruby has a long way to go as a programming language.  There are orders of magnitude of efficiencies hiding in the depths that will be realized in the next 2 years and be Ruby’s saving grace.
  2. I don’t know shit about Ruby.  There are a lot of very smart people that know a lot more about this than me.  To be honest I always knew this, but this presentation really hit it home for me.

Never stop learning.
