we are not in 2010, why use rail? There are a lot of alternatives - java (spring) - go - node. But using rust for it is not far from c++ by craziness. So you are jumping from one strange solution to another…


Because Rails solves problems the others don't.

Also,

1. Spring outdates Rails (2002 v 2007)

2. Go is a language, Rails is a platform, Ruby is the language. Ruby and Go solve for different problems, Go doesn't have a singular web application framework to compare well to Rails

3. Node is a runtime, not a language or a platform. There's no direct comparison there.
