And I think ASP.NET has a good performance comparing to rails (not sure if they used C# or VB, C# obviously not a dynamic language).
The other one - 37Signals obviously experts in Rails - so they knew how to scale it. And even they took external funding later.
I think that dynamic languages like Erlang/Elixir, Clojure (and maybe Go) offer a good performance/productivity ratio.
Anyway, I think that Rails is OK for paid B2B web applications, not so much for free consumer stuff.
