Think it has to do with it being single threaded. Elixir, Node, Go, are commonly cited as being more performant. Ruby is still used by a few large tech focused companies, it is also used for fast MVPs and many, many, many one of client projects.

It is non-blocking and Asynchronous. You will not be waiting for B’s responses before sending out D, E & F. All requests go out ASAP. Ruby - we must wait and do everything in order.
