My answer to this is: no, because a whole Ruby VM and application
stack are too much to mix together with the front-end webserver.  It's
the opposite of separation of concerns.  Nginx is lean, mean, and
awesome precisely because it doesn't try to do this sort of thing.

It just so happens that this is the argument I made in my Railsconf
talk about Nginx:
