Ruby on Rails vs Others

I want to develop a Website like Code Racer with a multiplayer competition. I actually want to build it with Ruby on Rails,but I don't know what languages are suitable for what type of Web Applications.Treehouse used Node.JS,other may use another language. I want to know if it is possible to develop such an app with Ruby on Rails or not and how people decide wich language is suitable for what type of Application.
