Hi Alan, I totally agree with the statement below; I think so far Ruby results in a very high human productivity. Now the question is, in essence, do you want an option to reduce the productivity by 20%, if you can increase the computer productivity by 500%? (This is even an option; you may choose to do it or stay with you current productivity level.)
