In this talk from QCon London 2009, Martin Fowler talks about ThoughtWorks's experience with using Ruby on client projects for the past three years.
Dozens of client projects and ThoughtWorks Studio's Mingle, all implemented in Ruby, provide a ton of information about what it means to use Ruby in realworld situations. The talk discusses questions such as:
- Is Ruby's performance (or lack thereof) really a problem?
- Are Ruby teams really significantly more productive?
- Is Ruby code read- and maintainable?
The talk is also available as an article on Martin's blog.
Watch Martin Fowler on "Three Years of Real-World Ruby".
