It was odd to read "Ok, let’s leave trolling aside" in the middle of the article.

Do we really have to behave like 5 year old kids?


Any decent language runtime with lightweight threads will have the same effect...


This made my brain hurt. Terrible article.

> Lots of rubyists defends this aproach with arguments that GIL makes single threaded apps faster and makes writing of the multi-threaded apps easier. You know what… that’s total bullshit.

No, it's not. It's a fact.

Article also confounds parallelism and concurrency all over the place.


Being 8x faster than a GIL'd Ruby is not exactly going to win you any awards.
