Speed of development, or runtime speed? Language won’t matter for runtime speed except in the .1% of high load apps. In my experience speed of development will vary quite a bit based on language and quality of frameworks. I went from C# shop to Ruby/Rails and the pace increased substantially, though cultural differences are intertwined with language choices.

I agree though that it's not relevant for nearly all web applications (and even for those where it is, it doesn't require that everything is done in a performant language)
