Our ruby application had memory problems and thats why it needed overhaul, but instead of changing architecture and rewriting same thing in Ruby I choose Go. Sure, rewriting made it better, doing it in Go made it lot better.

One of the thing I said in presentation was "This performance numbers look impressive but ignore them, by rewriting in Ruby could have improve them may be not huge margin but still they would have been better"

I choose Go not because language was better, and not only for performance.

Simple deployment was key point and deployment is not just about deploy and forget, there are entire companies founded around deploying and maintaining Ruby apps for you because it's not simple thing for tiny startup.
