Re: Confirm my Performance Test Against Java?
Thank you very much for the excellent answers, and your well reasoned responses to what could have easily been dismissed as someone "not getting it" or attempting to start a flame war. I have quoted various aspects of the responses and added my response or further comments. -- May I then ask what made you consider Ruby in the first place? The reason I'm considering it is because I don't want to blindly choose Java just because it's the default. As for why Ruby and not Erlang, Scala, Groovy etc -- the honest answer is because Ruby is getting so much attention these days, to the point of religious fervor amongst many I speak to that I need to take an objective look at it and what it does well. I greatly dislike religious wars amongst technology - for example Linux, Mac and Windows - and thus want to understand the objective benefits/drawbacks as opposed to personal taste. -- "seeing how well Ruby can pretend to be Java" My intention is not to see how Ruby can pretend to be Java. I'm using Java as the point of comparison for a few reasons: - it's what I have the most expertise in - it's generally the "default" choice in the types of projects and development teams I lead - the language has a very wide range of understanding in the development world and is therefore a good point of reference to discuss from - I need a valid point of reference for objective performance comparisons That being said, I am trying to figure out what the "Ruby way" is - which so far is far from clear to me. I appreciate the reference to the Design Patterns in Ruby book. That is very much the type of recommendation that will probably help me out, so thank you. http://www.amazon.com/Design-Patterns-Ruby-Addison-Wesley-Professional/dp/0321490452 -- You won't really get a taste for what we mean until you start writing -- Ruby (real Ruby, not Java ported line-by-line to Ruby). What example opensource projects can you refer me to which espouse the "real Ruby" style of doing things? I'd prefer non-Rails projects, as I understand the completely different approach of webapp dev with Rails. I'm looking specifically at Ruby. I keep getting told that I must understand the "Ruby way" - so I'd appreciate instruction on how to accomplish the "Ruby way" considering I am apparently boxed in as a "Java/C style programmer" ... despite disliking C :-) -- But if you are in a position to be able to throw more hardware at the problem, -- it does really become a question of CPU time vs programmer time. That -- is, if Ruby really does cost 3x the CPU of Java, you can calculate in real -- dollars how much it will cost to use. If scalability was the only issue, this would be a valid response. For example, if both Java and Ruby both performed single threaded transactions at 150ms each, and both scaled to 10 concurrent threads equally well, but Java continues to scale to 30 concurrent threads and Ruby does not, then that's a scenario where I can add 3 machines to scale Ruby horizontally and truly argue that the cost of the hardware is more than made up for by lower developer costs. But, "per request" performance does not get improved by this type of solution. Adding faster hardware does not make Ruby catch up to Java - since Java also improves with faster hardware. This is why the "add hardware" answer doesn't win me over on the performance issue, because performance and scalability are two completely different problems. I haven't even begun to test scalability with Ruby yet. -- Response time is only part of the story. What you really want to benchmark is -- requests per second, and that's not always as simple as multiplying response time. That's correct ... but supports my point. Requests per second is the throughput, or scalability - not performance. That is something I can throw hardware at - performance is not. -- Which is pretty much going to give you benchmark candy. If your site is -- slowing down, that's a bug. Once the speed of the site is acceptable, -- and you're set up to handle spikes appropriately, more performance doesn't -- really buy you anything other than "because you can". I disagree. If I can cut 30% of the transaction time off of a search engine request - that is valuable. It provides a better use experience to the user and (according to Google and Amazon) increases their usage of the system. Performance of response (not talking about scalability here but actual performance) is more than just "bragging rights" or "benchmark candy". The speed at which an application responds to an end users request impacts the overall usability of an application. It is for this same reason that things such as network compression, network optimization (CDNs, Akamai route acceleration etc) and client side caching also all play a role. In the presentation layer however, I tend to think the performance degradation of using Ruby is far less of an issue than backend services, since IO does play such a huge role - which is more or less what Thoughtworks has come to conclude from their use of it based on their reported experiences. -- premature optimization is the root of all evil I 100% agree. Martin Fowler comes to mind or someone similar. -- My preference would be, if I can write 97% of the program in Ruby, and -- 3% in C, is that really going to be less pleasant than writing 100% of the -- program in Java? An interesting observation and one I must consider. -- when was the last time the type system saved you? This is a valid and interesting question. I would suggest that it's not that it is "saving" anything - cause there is nothing to save once the application is running, because the code can't be compiled if things aren't type-safe. It's the toolset as you stated that you suspect. The readability of code to know exactly what types a given argument, variable or array contain. The IDE telling me as I type when errors are occuring, what objects relate to what, navigating through code, etc. I've attempted RubyMine, Aptana and Netbeans. They are attempting this dynamic interpretation but are far from accomplishing it. For example, code completion in these tools to suggest the available API methods is almost useless, as they offer virtually every method available under the sun, as they are not interpreting what actual type the variable is. Therefore they'll show me 15 different versions of a method with the same name, all for different object types from the Ruby API. Similarly, looking at an array or collection in Ruby does not tell me what it is, especially if things are being passed around through methods, across class boundaries etc. Instead of the method signature telling me "Collection<ZebraAnimal>" I just see a variable. Thus, I must now depend on a team of developers properly documenting everything, using very descriptive naming conventions (and properly refactoring all of that when changes occur), and wrapping everything in unit tests. Now, all of those are "ideal" cases - ones I believe in and stress continually. I have hundreds and hundreds of unit tests and automated build servers etc - but in the "real world", getting teams to comment every method, properly name (and refactor) variable names and cover everything in unit tests just doesn't happen - unless it's a small team of very competent people who all believe in the same paradigm and treat their code as art. I wish that's how all dev teams were, but it's not a reality. Perhaps if it's a personal project where I know the code and can ensure all is covered it's a different story. -- 100 lines of code is generally easier to read and -- debug than a thousand. I'll give you that - but I have yet to see anything that proves to me that a competent developer using both Ruby and Java (or C# for that matter) would have 10x as much written code than they would in Ruby. The "cruft" so often referred to are things that I don't even consider or think of. Boilerplate code ... clutter and sometimes annoying ... fades into the background and tools remove the pain of it. And with the advent of annotations, many of these arguments disappear when Java code is written correctly with modern patterns and frameworks. -- I think that particular code sample was misleading -- certainly, you can -- play Perl Golf in any language. But you have coding conventions in Java, and -- you would in Ruby. You surely can, and I'm trying to understand what the coding conventions are in Ruby. The book link offered is something I'm going to go look at. Amazon referred another book called "The Ruby Way" which may also provide me good insights. Any experience with that one? -- ... best served by Ruby ... -- small scripts for system administration I completely agree here. -- any sort of web app ... that needs to be flexible and constantly maintained and improved, -- for which the developer controls the hardware. I'm leaning more and more towards this. In fact, I'm trying to figure out how to rip Java out of my webapps completely and leave that to the backend webservices and let the presentation layer be as free from "code" as possible. Java developers typically aren't exactly the best at client facing solutions (don't attack me on this if you disagree ... this is ofcourse not a definitive rule, it's just that I find it more challenging to hire good web developers who are 'Java' skilled as opposed to PHP, Ruby, Javascript, CSS, etc). For example, if I can accomplish a dynamic front-end purely driven by client side Javascript using AJAX techniques with a REST style webservices backend, I will try to pursue that. The middle ground seems to be pursuing Ruby or something else that is still server-side, but better suited to the always changing pace of webapp dev and more creative, script driven coding style better suited to web developers and designers. -- desktop app that doesn't need the highest performance possible What you say makes sense here, but I am so far removed from desktop apps that I'm useless in weighing in on this. -- It's about whether it's possible to throw CPUs at the problem, or -- whether the CPU is the bottleneck at all. Understood and I agree. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
