| It is more than "several" people. Matz, himself, has said it needs to be faster. Rite should do that but until then it still lags behind the "P" languages. | ||

For example, even if you look at Doug's shootout you'll se stuff like this:
ary=Array.new
z=0
for i in ary
i=z+=1
end
while you could just initialize the array with this stuff with Array.new {auto inc block}.
BTW, I don't really care about ruby slowness, or python's for that matter. They are "fast enough" for my needs, and the C api are just a charm if I need extension. Not that this should fit for your needs, anyway..
