Do you think SO can handle 10% of its current traffic if built using Ruby on Rails?

I am building it for a region only so I know it can never get traffic comparable to SO.

They probably could handle it with perl and cgi scripts.

Most of their traffic is reads, and serving cached HTML is fast whatever backend framework you're using.

I'm not some kind of Rails fanboy, but I do work at Shopify (runs on Rails). Also there's Github which is driven by Rails
