Ruby 2.0.0 Released

I don't know about Rails, but as a Symfony2 user, it's actually a bit on the slower side compared to other PHP frameworks.

But ~300ms server response times is nothing if your end user has to wait 5-6 seconds for the page to render due to suboptimal frontend code. Plus, throw in varnish/nginx microcaching and requests drop to ~10ms regardless of your framework.

True for a single request, but once you start getting lots of concurrent requests all those ~300ms server response times start adding up quite quickly.

When Twitter started out, their use of ROR wasn't a problem. Once the service started to become popular, however, it was.
