It amazes me that even when we have numbers people still dismiss Rails.

Nothing will run at that scale on a single VPS. All companies will have a wide range of languages used.

If this is not Rails supporting high traffic then what do we need more?

Sorry, I love Rails, but because something can scale (which I never thought it couldn't) doesn't make it a high performance system. That's totally fine, Rails makes other tradeoffs that IMO are more universally useful, even though some people seem to not be able to understand that server cost for most companies is tiny compared to developer cost
For some reason, some people with discount any example of Rails scalability as not counting.
