I think you mean ruby is not only for weeaboos.

the ruby for weeaboos thing has always perplexed me. i don't really think anyone cares about the being from japan thing. a much, much more precise sling to throw would be that ruby is for web 2.0 digg hype folksonomy faggots. im pretty sure those are the only people who use it.
ruby will switch to bytecode compilation style later this year, meaning it will gain some speed.

I wonder. How come these perl/python/ruby/whatever languages are always written on top of some fuck-slow quasi-VM interpreter?
They invariably fail at having proper threading support, except for the rather simplistic case of multiplexing I/O without doing select()s and the associated state machine crap by hand. Then about a decade later (and I suppose _never_ in Python's case) they decide that hey, perhaps our execution environment really does suck a rooster's pOnOs.

Lots of people learn Ruby because it's Japanese, even if they don't want to admit it. But some Python fags are weeaboos too. Like me.

You have named two of the worst reasons ever to start learning Ruby and stop using it.

Coming soon: the year of the Linux desktop, Perl 6, compiled Ruby, PHP 6, Duke Nukem Forever...

Python is not slow, though its threading implementation kinda sucks (though except for intensive Python-side computing, you won't notice it).
If you have a performance-critical routine, just rewrite it in C whenever you have time to optimize. #include <Python.h>

Ruby on Rails' slowness isn't that big of a deal. Anyway I coded my very functional imageboards in it and I have yet to reach 1000 lines of code, where any other script would use thousands.
Anyway Ruby will have bytecode then it will pwn. Conversation over.
Also, weeaboos? My guess is most people who start learning Ruby don't even know it originated in Japan. I didn't until I read about it in my Ruby book.
if u so retarded - use perl
perl better than ruby and pithon

Only not before C becomes the standard language for web services. Ecologists will demand this.

I only learned Ruby (+on Rails) because I was going to be paid for it.
WRT to speed: it's common practice to run multiple rails server instances (mongrel) behind a light gateway httpd, e.g. niginx
I was pretty surprised that the real reason for running multiple rails framework instances is because the cockpot is not multithread safe.
