Read my post again. You didn't understand it.
Last I checked Ruby execution was slow compared to Python. That, however, tells you where you shouldn't use it, not *that* you shouldn't use it. And Ruby can easily call C routines (with the usual caveats).
OTOH, in some task spaces, design in Ruby is fast compared to design in Python, and in almost all it's fast compared to design in C. (That said, I generally prefer to design in Python and then re-implement in C++.)
Whether it's serious or not depends on what you're doing. For me it fails only because I require Doxygen compatibility. (Mind you, I would rarely choose to use *only* ruby, but for some things it would be the superior choice.)
OTOH, Ruby is not a low level choice. It's a slightly higher level than Python. And I often design things in Python and then convert them to C++ (with, of course, minor rewrites).
So, "What do you mean by 'serious'?".
Restaurants often use paper checks because many of the kitchen employees rely on check-cashing services instead of traditional banking.
Without the paper checks they'd have to use money orders or something. Maybe cash.
It seems like the counter-suit for inflicting emotional duress would have a possible higher cap, though.
Since his own duress, if any, was used to commercial advantage it would be hard for him to argue it as a financial harm, a necessary feature of a tort.
They probably stand out a lot if you're creeping some chic on the subway.
She's gonna notice you're staring, when she sees the camera she's gonna get even more pissed.
It's not like having glasses is permission to creep.
Modern C++ is a seriously powerful and fast - albeit perhaps too complicated - language without all the gotchas of older C++ and plain C.
Modern C++ didn't get rid of the gotchas, it just added more of them. It's fine if you're working by yourself, but you can't prescribe what features other people will use (including the writers of libraries you want to use). But old C++ was fine when working by yourself too.
