This is why theres people who say you shouldnt use an orm at all. I have to admit intially i liked the django orm however after a while i found that i prefered or wanted to make the called directly myself. There was just oo much mystery going on behind the scenes that i couldnt find out about.

You can probably use both node and ruby. From what ive seen sites that are using node use it more for the backend to serve ajax then for serving the web pages. Although i have seen few site with very ajax based interfaces that apparently use just node. It really depends on your ui i guess. Good luck with whatever you choose though!
