Apologies for replying to an old post, but "0.5x of Ruby" and "5x 
of Ruby" could be read to mean that the Go version ran in half 
the time of the Ruby version while the D version took 5 times as 
long to run.

Ok you meant Go version was half the performance of the Ruby 
version and D version was 5 times faster.

This reply hopefully adds context to search engine indexing when 
people look for D performance. :-)
