For the size of website Rails is optimised for nothing matches Rails IF you're considering all dimensions rather than just performance. That's because Rails capitalises on the unique design of the Ruby language. Ruby manages to blend OO, procedural and functional, taking the best features of Perl, Smalltalk and Lisp. The result is perfect for creating the kind of DSLs Rails is built on. Clojure and Elixir come close but they're strictly functional languages. Scala claims to excel in blending OO and functional but the result is a mess which has fragmented the Scala community whereas the Ruby community speaks with one voice.
