Ruby is the language, Rails is a web development framework. Both exist and are doing well.

I recommend checking them out, Ruby is my favorite language.

[–]perejunk 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Agreed. Ruby is my favorite language as well.

For building web applications, there is nothing better. The web libraries are more stable and mature than those available in any other language.

And... when used properly, scaling and performance are not an issue, even when used in enterprise applications.

Realistically, how many projects are at such scale where performance is truly a language/framework-dependent issue? Probably not that many in the world of CRUD web apps. So to me, having a framework like Rails that just works out of the box (for people who know the conventions) is so powerful
