Hi, I want to know if for ruby like over language (php for example), if
developper on ruby are a lot (more specially french developpers)

In fact, it’s for a new project, I need to know some thinks :

    • How many good developpers exists on rails ? (ruby so)
    • Robustest of ruby core on a concequent project ? (lot’s of query per
      sec, lot’s of code)
    • Stability of ruby ?
    • Database behavior ?
    • Add ons (like perl cpan)
      …

I want to start a new project, and I want to start a new project in a
language robust, with many and easy to find developper on it.
If project take a good size, I don’t want to have poor performance or
core
crash without any solution.

Bref, any good developper, please tell me what you think on ruby ?

Ouah ! Performance seems to be great !!!

Ruby support charge, but what are the size of your application ?

Certainly module aren’t to big, but generally it’s not necessary to do
one
proc with a big size

You app never crashed ? it’s rocking stable ?

So I don’t know if find ruby developper is easy … it’s seems to be a
new
language …

actually I’m using perl with a big app, and I love this language, easy,
fast, stable, performant, but find good developper it’s really hard

ruby seems to be a lot of more hard for finding developper … so I will
see

my superior prefer php language for that point, but I prefer ruby for
beautiful language …

some article point the lake of developper on core, all people love it,
use
it, but no body help core developper … that’s not really good,

doesn’t ruby could died in this way ?

well

If you search the archives of the list, you will find many discussions
on
this topic.

In brief, though, there are many commercially successful Rails based
sites
in existence (look at Basecamp as well as any of 37signals other
products,
43things, etc…). There are many other Rails examples, and many
non-rails examples, as well.

I’ve been using Ruby for custom software and web sites for businesses
for
over four and a half years, now. I have benchmarked one of my newest
sites as capable of delivering over 10 million dynamic page requests in
a
day, using a single backend process on a very modest server, with Ruby.

You will find many people on this mailing list who are very happy with
their choice to use Ruby for their projects.

Now, that said, despite Ruby’s growth, finding programmers conversant in
Ruby is not nearly so easy as it is with some other languages, but that
is
changing.

Keep in mind that the performance that I state is NOT Rails performance.
Rails is slower than that. I use a different framework (IOWA).

I have around 65 separate sites/applications running at the moment.
Some
of which have been running on the same process since 2005. My
expectation
is for rock solid reliability, and I haven’t had a problem with Ruby
since
the 1.6.8 version.

So I don’t know if find ruby developper is easy … it’s seems to be a new

It’s not a new language. It’s just newly popular outside of Japan.
Finding developers is certainly going to be harder than finding PHP or
Java developers, though, yes.

There have been discussions around this topic, which you can find in the
archives. The nutshell of it, though, is that there are currently a few
ongoing alternative Ruby implementation projects, and the official Ruby
implementation is moving along, too. Join the ruby-core mailing list or
review its archives to see discussions regarding Ruby development.
