Why is Ruby on Rails so darn slow?

pedro

C/C++ for desktop/server apps is OK but not for web apps?!

There are lots of C/C++ apps out there, some huge, some have been used, and expanded for many years, even decades.

How come C/C++ is adequate for projects from the small to the behemoth when it is for a desktop app or a non HTML spewing server app but not adequate for web apps?!

Is there something special about spewing HTML or one of its XML cousins that make C/C++ inadequate? (A PHP/Java/C/C++ programmer for server, desktop and web inquires)
