There’s nothing wrong with Rails in 2018. It’s maybe not the most forward-looking choice you could make but it’ll get you running quickly.

But if you have a smart team and a little bit of time for ramping up then I’d suggest Elixir+Phoenix or Node tbh.

Rails is good at what it’s designed to be - a one stop shop for fast to develop, kinda dirty, framework magic, webdev.

And there is nothing wrong with that.

Node with which framework? By itself it's not comparable to Rails.

True! Though I actually think that’s a good thing (imo too much magic & abstraction in a framework leads to bad app design because too much is hidden).

But that sort of reinforces the point I was making tbh. Want something that makes all those choice for you? Right or wrong? Rails.

Nothing wrong with that as such, but it will cause issues eventually.
