Hi,

I guess it’s perfectly possible, either if you want to make just
webpages, or if you want to make webservices. See rubyonrails.com for
example, or http://www.nitroproject.org/ or

Absolutely. Although there are web frameworks (like rails) that give
you more power and convenience than ASP alone, mod_ruby + eRuby (or
ERB) is a simple, direct correlation to the templating power of ASP.
They allow the simple HTML and (ruby) code.

You can add a simple foundation like “ruby-web” to add additional
session, post, and other convenience methods:
