Would Coding a Browser Game in Rails be a Good Idea?

I'm lately more and more into Ruby on Rails and i have actually started coding a browser RPG. Do you think it's a good idea to code such a game using a framework like Rails ?

I've tried to do this in PHP in the past, but the workload was amazingly big. On the other hand, doing it with Rails is a hell lot faster.

The question is, though, is performance going to be ok ? What are your thoughts on this ? Would you do something like that in RoR ? Would it scale well ? It's important for me to know if it can be done in a good manner.

Use rails to manage users and data and build the game in flash. When HTML5 and javascript catches up I think it might, and that is a maybe for sure, be possible but it's seriously a headache. I think the future will be with node.js and frameworks like rails for managing games but right now its still flash pulling the graphics along.

You want to use the Midnight Coders plugin to connect flash and rails.
