I was doing J2EE and was hardly surprised with Rails.

We did Rails one decade earlier with our own version of AOLServer.

The very reason we went to .NET (as beta testers during its availability only to MSFT partners) was because we were fed up having to rewrite TCL into C due to performance issues.

All the Active Record stuff was already something that AOLServer introduced, and we had an improved approach on our product.

The founders of that company went on to create OutSystems based on our learnings.
