100ms to Glass with Rails and Turbolinks

A perceived benefit of a client-side JS framework is the responsiveness of its interface - updates to the UI are instantaneous. A large amount of application logic (and, usually, state) lives on the client, instead of on the server. The client-side application can perform most tasks without running back to the server for a round-trip. As a result, in the post-V8 era, many developers think traditional server-side languages and frameworks (Ruby, Python, even Java) are simply too slow for modern web applications, which are now supposed to behave like native applications, with instantaneous responses.Is Rails dead? Can the old Ruby web framework no longer keep up in this age of “native-like” performance?.
