Rails vs. nodejs

Rails
1

I am going to make an opinionated comment here. This is just my
opinion and everyone has one.

I think rails is the best framework out there. But I think all these
frameworks do not solve any actual problems. They just abstract
problems to simpler forms. On the other hand nodejs actually created
a new and revolutionary way to develop web applications easily. Almost
like writing a simple script.

No? One problem they solve is to take the grind out of building web
apps - all the repetitive stuff that you need to do with every new
app. With that labour freed-up, the developer can now concentrate on
the specific domain problems.

And what “problem” does that solve?
Are you suggesting that the Ruby code in Rails is not simple? Or that
in comparison, a developer can write more simple scripts in NodeJS
than they can in Ruby?

I’m struggling to see the rationale for you “opinion”. I certainly
can’t see any historical weight to your voice that would lend you any
credence, and as such, you’re really sounding like a troll.

Your biggest flaw (which is common in these “my dad vs. your dad”
postures) is that you’re not comparing apples to apples.
NodeJS is an event-driven server scripting environment, which Rails is
nothing of the kind. You might as well have said " I think all these
frameworks do not solve any actual problems. On the other hand a
crocodile has really big jaws." - It would have been more curious to
read :-/
