Many of them leave to a BEAM language actually, for speed reasons.

CRuby/MRI/YARV is almost as fast as BEAM at web stuff in terms of total throughput and JRuby is significantly faster. Sinatra + Sequel is faster at some things and slower at others. The default Rails setup makes huge tradeoffs away from performance.
