why crap on a whole lot of people for, what is the reason again? For liking something? Because... you didn't?

Saying it's the "slowest" is wrong and hard to quantify - benchmarking is entirely task dependent. Ruby is slow in some (many) areas, but fast in others. It's a tool like any other that has its uses.

He is right about DHH, though. That guy is the worst.
