Why HN links it
Commenters link Sho Fukamachi's posts on Ruby implementations and performance (MagLev, MacRuby), Ruby 1.9 versioning, and REST in Rails. The comments are bare links or quotes and do not judge the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 5 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

“So do you seriously think that all these smart people, writing (and collaborating on) all these projects have somehow missed the magic technique that’s going to make Ruby run 60x faster?” http://fukamachi.org/wp/2008/06/02/maglev-and-the-naiivety-o...

HN discussionLol, hi Jonny, small world isn't it... Well, I've never been a huge fan of REST when it comes to user-facing web pages. The "big 7" verbs seem to me to be limited and arbitrary, and while very interesting as a kind of natural API I don't use it for browser pages. I think Rails over-hypes "REST everywhere" and if you don't have a clear use case, I'd forget about it, at least on "normal" pages. Trying to unify API acc…

HN discussionOh god, not Oliver Reichenstein. That guy is an absolute know-nothing clown - the typical useless twittering "expert" with a pretentious self-chosen job title (he is an "Information Architect" but a non-programmer) and no clue about how the world actually works but willing to spout nonsense to anyone that listens - which they unfortunately sometimes do. He's like the Joel Spolsky of information architecture, sans th…

on “What do we need to get on Ruby 1.9?”I have to agree with Nutter - MacRuby is nowhere near a complete implementation and there is absolutely no point trying to judge its performance until it is. See last year's MagLev debacle for precedent. You were right on board with that train wreck, if I recall correctly, and let me assure you the few of us who poured skepticism on their numbers are feeling pretty vindicated by now. Another problem I have is the us…
