Ruby on Rails question

What do they mean when they say Ruby on Rails doesn't scale too well? What are some of the bad things about Ruby? I've heard it's pretty slow compared to PHP.

Ruby isn't actually much worse than PHP, but PHP is horrible to begin with. The only reason rubyfags get fucked harder than PHP kiddies is that the former usually implement a lot of actual business logic in Ruby, whereas with PHP you wind up pushing most of it down to C functions and a database of some kind.

"Serious" web development frameworks written in PHP are a hundred times fouler than anything ever cooked up by rubyists, in terms of both performance and private areas of hax.
