Something else to consider regarding Twitter: Rails is a web application framework, not a general solution to all computing problems. As far as I can tell, Twitter's scaling woes have almost nothing to do with serving dynamic web pages, so it's hard to see how Rails could be their bottleneck.
Insoshi was able to handle appearing simultaneously on the front pages of TechCrunch and Hacker News without a hitch, and with only one server at that. We're confident that Rails will have no trouble scaling to meet our future needs.
