Also DHH still pretending that RoR is it's own thing instead of a framework built on top of Ruby.

Do you know what "RoR" stands for?
Yes, Ruby on Rails, the name of a web framework for Ruby.

Just because there is Ruby in the name of the framework doesn’t mean the language itself doesn’t deserve a mention.

The generally accepted thing to do is say LANG/FRAMEWORK, like “Python/Django”. I don’t think DHH’s choosing to include the name of the Lang (an interesting choice in and of itself tbh) in the name of the framework he made changes that.
