What are you talking about? This is the problem of why PHP is still being used, because developers think that Ruby or Python don't allow you to do several stuff you actually can... look at this example (ERB lets you run Ruby code the same way):

  $ cat test.erb
  Hello there! Today = <%=Time.now%>
  $ erb test.erb
  Hello there! Today = Sat Oct 26 16:42:36 +0200 2013
Plus you still need to run PHP over a server (Apache, Nginx, or what so ever), so I don't see so much difference with Rails, Django or Express, except that PHP is an old and stinky language.
