I love ruby but I don't think it's a good choice here. To prove it one way or another, you could write a simple proof-of-concept to write a random 200 bytes into a Berkeley DB in a tight loop. If it can't keep up with that requirement (note that it isn't handling any network IO) then you know adding in additional responsibilities (reading the network, parsing the data packet, etc) will only make it slower. cr From cosine at cosine.org Fri Feb 6 17:42:49 2009 From: cosine at cosine.org (Michael H Buselli) Date: Fri, 06 Feb 2009 16:42:49 -0600 Subject: [Chirb] [Boulder Ruby Group] Best approach for a very simple REST web service?

I think the choice of Ruby being good or bad has nothing to do with the number of transactions per second required; a good architecture will enable scaling to loads much greater than that. The question I have that would decide go or no-go on Ruby is how much does abstraction make the code easier to create, follow, and update. Ruby is the best among the popular language options for abstracting code. If this is a huge win on this project, then use Ruby with a well designed architecture. Then use profiling tools to identify the slow parts and re-write them in C if the language is the reason they are slow (if the speed can be improved by a re-write with an n*log(n) algorithm and you are using an n*n algorithm, re-write the method in Ruby first). Finally, scale up the hardware per your well-designed architecture if you still need the extra capacity. If this is very simple software doing very simple things and abstraction will not help make life easier for the future of the product, then by all means go with Chuck's advice to complete the project in the most expedient manner. However, I suppose you should also consider the abilities of your software architects. Bad architecture will just be expensive, useless, and make Ruby look bad to your management.

After last month's hugely successful language comparison mayhem, the world's most successful user group strikes again! Robots and OS Packaging, are the major topic areas. James Snyder, from Northwestern University's Biomedical Engineering Department, will be serializing Arduino microcontroller with Python for robotic pursuits. Jason Huggins, co-founder of Sauce Labs Inc and creator of Selenium, will follow up with a quick demo of his Arduino- based Ambient Orb clone, called 'orbison' (http://code.google.com/p/orbison/ ). For the second part, Cosmin Stejerean, software engineering and computer security specialist, will cover how to package your Python package with tools like py2app and py2exe. Massimo Di Pierro, professor at DePaul CTI, will get some brief help porting his popular web2py Enterprise Web Framework to a linux package from a live audience. Let's see if it is possible in 10 minutes! Last but not least, William Scullin, Argonne National Laboratory and cheese lover, will present on bcfg2, a tool written in Python for system administrators to fingerprint their environment and about Python, in general, on IBM's BlueGene /P supercompter. There will be a moment of silence in respect to Unix Timestamp 1234567890 Our host for the meeting is Sully's House Tap Room & Grill. All ages are welcome to this Free Private Event. For those of age, Sully?s House offer 20 Beers on tap, and 35 Bottles - all craft and microbrewery, specializing in Belgium, Irish and German selections. Enjoy great Bar Food & Pizza from our Italian Oven and Daily discounted menu specials. The host has given us a dedicated bartender. We will meet in the private party room on the second floor that is well equipped with top of the line video equipment ? 100? HD screen & full A/V accessibility with Rock Band & Wii. Nice big space, bring a friend. Thanks Sully's!!! This *will* be our best meeting yet. Topics ------ * Arduino + Python, James Snyder * Orb demo, Jason Huggins * py2app and py2exe, Cosmin Stejerean * help package web2py for linux, Massimo Di Pierro * IBM's BlueGene /P bcfg2, William Scullin When ---- Thursday, February 12th, ~7pm Location -------- Sully?s House Tap Room & Grill, 1501 N.

The koans concept removes the writing of the code examples, so that would kinda defeat the purpose. There are 155 other quizes listed on http://rubyquiz.com/.

Everybody who wants to participate (which I hope is everybody) will get a chance to pair program in front of the group with two different partners, the person sitting to your left and the person sitting to your right.
