We (Foton Sistemas Inteligentes) develop custom applications for customers
using mostly Rails. Personally, I find Rails a bit too low level as it
involves a lot of raw HTML coding with ruby embedded in it (ie *.html.erb
sources). Rails also doesn't work well (in my opinion) for developing
applications like gmail which are really 'web page based', but more like
desktop apps. So I thought it would be nice to have an api to develop these
sort of applications in, even if Wt::Ruby might not scale as well with
FastCgi, as Rails does.

Yes, for Wt::Ruby there are two different ruby extensions 'wthttp' and
'wtfcgi' and they both have all the Wt:: classes in them. The only
difference is that one is linked againt the wthttp lib and the other linked
against wtfcgi.
So for development you would include one and for production the other.
if ENV['WT_ENV'] == 'production'
require 'wtfcgi'
elsif ENV['WT_ENV'] == 'development'
require 'wthttp'
end
But I don't know anything about how to set up Apache2 to use fast cgi yet.
My install of apache2 has config files named differently from the docs in
Wt. So I haven't actually got the C++ Wt hello world working yet, but I'm
pretty sure that the Ruby one will work too once I do.
