What are the disadvantages of the Ruby programming language?

The question is about Ruby

Answer:

There are disadvantages to Ruby: it runs slower than languages such as Java or C++, which may serve as a serious drawback for performance-critical applications. Ruby also has fewer resources, libraries, and communities compared to the most in-demand languages. Further, Ruby is sometimes at a disadvantage regarding scaling, where bigger applications can suffer performance clogs, especially compared to languages optimized for high-performance tasks.
