You keep putting words to my mouth. I have not compared OpenSSH, Go or Rails as web frameworks. I compared Ruby's speed to Go and Rails' security record to OpenSSH. But I give you misrepresentation is a great way to make someone look stupid. My personal intuition is that Rails is insecure and becoming increasingly insecure. I have cited a high number of CVEs. If you disagree, go ahead and use Rails for your app. You'll save some time, but remember to remain vigilant about security issues.

The intention wasn't to make you look stupid but to point out the absurdity of the comparison between rails and OpenSSH. I completely agree on speed and (perhaps more importantly) memory size, minimal golang apps far surpass rails. On security, I'm not convinced a home-grown solution in plain go or any of the extant frameworks will be significantly more secure than Rails, nor that Rails is becoming more insecure. If anything I think they're putting more effort and time into security than they did previously.
