C is to low-level OS-independent programming as Rails is to web programming.

  No it's not. Ruby/Rails is the past decade's version of VBScript/ASP3. It's not a foundational technology. As huge of a fanboy as I am of Scala/Play, the C comparison would be as unjustifiable with those as well.

    Yeah, it's probably more appropriate to say that Javascript, HTML and CSS are to web programming what C is to low-level programming.

    Obviously things become less "foundational" as you go higher up the stack.
