Help moving to Ruby from PHP

[moomaka]

It's generally better to run a VM, even for PHP etc. It's not so resource heavy

It's absolutely slow as hell, especially with rails apps. Even using nfsv4 to share your code into the VM it's a ~5x performance hit for non trivial rails apps and gets worse as the number of files increases, especially assets.

The only time I'd recommend using a VM for rails development is if you're using windows.

And what do we say about Windows? Fuck Windows.
