thank god i'm not the only one who thinks like that. rob pike 
mentioned that there are much more conversion of python / ruby 
developers than c / c++ developers. and as we all know the  
reason is the speed and there's a trade off. they're trading 
beauty, elegance, simplicity with ugly speed. i also think many 
go users are caught NIH syndrome. they are re-inventing 
everything. heck, they are even re-inventing nginx, redis, etc. 
because they are _not written_ in go.

on ruby on rails side, it is fairly very easy. i've built apps 
with rails and i've always been happy with it. some apps used 
rails defaults, some apps were very customised. the thing with 
ror is that it is never getting in your way when you open up your 
editor and start building your application and that's what i look 
for in a web framework.
