Not only way off topic, but meaningless as well. May as well have posted a link to a porn site.
There are still those who try to justify C/C++ because they are the fastest. Ruby and Python are trying to do much different things and are just scripts to organize the overall task. They aren't trying to be fast, just productive.
Fact is, C is the biggest disaster ever in the industry.
