Let’s be clear - the success is not because of Ruby on Rails.

You could build the same thing with nodes or python or golang or whatever.

There’s nothing special about rails, except that the developers speak like it’s special.

There’s nothing that can be quantified in any tangible way to indicate it’s actually better in any way. Rails has enthusiastic words, but it’s not actually better.

It's part of the success. There's a reason you don't hear similar 1-person stories with Express.
