ometimes runtime performance requirements determine which programming language I use. For flat out runtime performance, I have always found that natively compiled Common Lisp or C++ really do the trick. For large-scale Web applications, I usually use Java because of its wealth of infrastructure software.
For other projects, I find myself using the Ruby programming language more and more. Not only is Ruby a high-performance programming language that minimizes software development and maintenance costs, but writing software in it is just fun! Ruby is a very concise programming notation, so you can write programs quickly. The readability of Ruby code also makes it easy to make changes later.
