Hello, Goby is just 6 months old and we just released version 0.1.0. So we’ll focus on Go integration and feature developments first, which means performance optimization won’t be our first priority now.

And we know we can’t be faster than Ruby on language level for at least one or two years. So we currently focus on libraries support for web development like provide buildin DB library, builtin multi-threaded server(which’s performance is better than puma I think).

In short, we want people to compare Ruby and Goby’s perofamce on application level for now, since the language’s goal is building a fast web server instead of running a million for loop faster than Ruby.

Also, once the integration with Go is more stable we’ll be able to use Go packages directly from Goby in a very convenient way. That should also boost Goby application’s performance.
