If I am understanding you correctly, you missed the point of most of the 
replies to your first post.  Ruby isn't _specifically_ designed as a web 
programming language.  However, it works very well for that purpose.  
There are a lot of people who use it daily for that purpose, and there are 
a number of people, including myself, who have software that we have 
developed specifically for web development.  The list of these packages is 
really quite long.
