Twitter was (originally, at least) done using ROR. What is it that
Haskell can do that Ruby can't when it comes to websites? What's the
biggest website written in Haskell, for instance? What makes it so good?

If you're in business, you're trying to keep your costs lower than
your income. That means that a language with a stable code base, good/
many libraries, and a large pool of developers is a good choice.
These things mean getting quicker to market, cheaper developers, and
you can replace a developer if one leaves. No use having fancy pants
code if you can't find anyone who understands it.
