A few years ago, I heard a lot of good things about Ruby on Rails, but I haven''t got opportunity or time to learn about RoR. I am starting a side project, therefore I am looking at using RoR. I came across a few articles that raise concern for me regarding the performance of RoR. First, Twitter move away from using RoR ( http://techcrunch.com/2008/05/01/twitter-said-to-be-abandoning-ruby-on-rails/ ) Second, LinkedIn move from RoR to Node.js ( http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/10/a-behind-the-scenes-look-at-linkedins-mobile-engineering/ ) I can regard the fact that Twitter move away from RoR as perhaps not related to RoR (the performance gain that Twitter reported may be because they changed several things at once, therefore it is hard to say where the performance gain comes from). However, for LinkedIn, the performance gain seems directly related to RoR. Is the code base done with RoR really hard to maintain? What do you (the RoR community) think about this? Should I use RoR if performance is a concern? Is RoR single-threaded? Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

When you get to the size of Twitter or LinkedIn then worry about it. Ambition is a good thing but don''t let it get in the way of getting things done. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Yes, what is good for goose is not necessarilly good for a very large gander... or something like that. The important thing when starting out is just shipping it - and it''s a lot easier to do that with RoR.

I will keep this in mind. Thank you both for your reply.
