come checkout phoenix. you get a lot of the same batterries included benefits of ror but the architecture is more moduler. runtime performance is closer to go-lang and there's a really fantastic websocket and reactive frontend system built in. Erlang OTP takes it a whole other level beyond that too if you're trying to scale up.

If you squint, yes. Erlang has had NIFs and ports since forever precisely because it isn't great at CPU intensive tasks.

In most cases however, you're still looking at an order of magnitude less servers than the equivalent Rails/Django application.
