DON"T compare this to Django or RoR or any of the other web frameworks... their not meant for the same purpose or even on the same playing field. This framework is NOT to be used to write content management systems or blogs or things that simply display web pages constructed using data from a database. It can be, and the video shows it, but attempting to do so would be hilariously stupid.
What this is good for is making web applications that are to do seriously heavy computational processing. Think Image Processing and Analysis (openCV library), sound or Image analysis, Statical Simulations, Crypto Related tasks, etc. With this framework directly bind to those without having to rely on a secondary layer that would be PHP/Python/Rails etc.
Conventionally you either had to write modules in C and bindings for your interpreted language, or setup a fastCGI process. This takes care of handing both in a way...
At least that's my view of great use for this.
