As someone that used AOLServer, was in a startup doing something like Rails but in 1999 with Tcl, I don't really agree.

The Rails demo wasn't that appealing to me, other than showing the difference on how lucky one might get regarding adoption and spotlight being in the right place.

Nowadays I still don't see a value, and rather go for Spring or ASP.NET.

By the way, the founders of that Tcl based startup, went on to create OutSystems, which is one of the few successful RAD tools for Web development at enterprise scale, and Portuguese success stories in IT world.

Tcl for web development was great and AOLServer ahead of its time
