Are you aware of how many outstanding web sites run on Rails? It might perform more poorly than other approaches, but in many circumstances that is a great trade-off for the power it gives the programmer.

Likewise with Python. There's a huge amount of successful software written in it. Anyway, as with Ruby, you can always drop down to C if you really need the efficiency.

Do you have any examples of why you consider Rails and Python to be "totally fucked"?
