I agree but people are doing it anyway. So technically Ruby on Rails and C++ are competitors in the web backend space.

RoR and whatever C++ based web backend there is count as a valid comparison in my book. But comparing the languages itself is maybe a bit off.

On a side note, you can actually compare their performance here if you’re really curious. But take it with a grain of salt since these are synthetic benchmarks.

Who builds web backend in C++?
The amount of companies who do that is greater than zero.
