Newb here: have you written your own web server? Seeking advice
WEBrick. Written entirely in Ruby, this is where you should start your examination, but not where it should end. WEBrick is easy to understand, because it is all Ruby, but it is not suitable for hosting websites. It is not robust or performant enough.

I don’t get all the hate for PHP and at this point I am too afraid to ask.
You could also use something like EventMachine (In ruby), Twisted (Python), Node (JS) or ReactPHP (for PHP) that will use the language and turn it into a web application server, and then you'll have only one long running process that handle all your requests with shared memory. You could even use something more fancy like RoadRunner in the case of PHP.

Newb here: have you written your own web server? Seeking advice
Maybe check out EventMachine. You can roll your own using sockets if you don't want to use a library.
