The two technologies I am looking at are Ruby on Rails and Java,
though I am open to others.
My main concern with scripting languages like Ruby is performance
I think you'll get more useful advice if you describe in more detail
why you think performance is a concern. Parsing XML and doing SQL
queries doesn't sound like especially resource-intensive operations.
Do you have performance issues in your C implementation? Generally
performance bottlenecks show up in the database layer, not the
language layer. Here's a list of benchmarks to give you an idea of
the variance in speeds between languages, which is really minimal:
Generally a more significant variance is speed of development, which
of course depends on your developers. So I guess I recommend you use
the language they want to use; enthusiasm breeds better work.
Peace,
Scott
