Take [ustreamtv.com](http://ustreamtv.com), for instance, would I be able to make a website like  
that with ruby on rails? Or what programming language does that?

Short answer yes, and from what I’ve heard [Hulu.com](http://Hulu.com) is actually built  
on Rails. You might also want to ask Rails questions over in the Rails  
list as it’s more suited.
