Not sure what you're saying. What are places where Node isn't caught up to Ruby and can never catch up to Ruby?

Ruby on Rails seems like a kneejerk response, but then again it doesn't exist because nobody really wants it, not for technical reasons.

For example, Python has all the ML/math stuff. Nothing comes to mind for Ruby.

Clearly not true, as there's two separate fullstack frameworks being actively developed[0][1], not mentioning the ones in the past (sails.js, meteor.js).

I think the parent comment was referring to the overall market position of RoR, and I'm saying that Node isn't likely to achieve an equivalently dominant share going forward, due at least in part to the wide variety of options available.

No one really wants it other than the guys who use Sails I guess...or is the name just a coincidence?
