Apples and oranges... Ajax is mostly javascript running on the browser
side and can work with any interactive web server, where ruby and perl
are scripting languages that work on the server side. If you want
speed, you'd use mod_perl under apache or a standalone mongrel running ruby.
However, it is probably a lot easier if you want ajax to use one of the
server libraries that integrate things (Google Web Toolkit for java,
Yahoo! UI Library for php, Ruby-on-Rails) or at least a library like jquery.
