Continuing on Rails: It's suprising how little Rails does with the web. Rack is the layer handling the HTTP stuff. Which then sends its requests to ActionDispatch, which calls the correct ActionRouter.

IMHO this is still too much HTTP, as I'd prefer to keep the entire HTTP out of my app, but after your routers, there's nothing "Web": it could all be "domain specific".

Ruby, the language, is, indeed, hardly "Web" at all. Ruby stdlib has some HTTP stuff but that is both lacking and optional.
