5 Word Confession: I like Ruby on Rails
August 14, 2007
I never thought I’d say this, but Ruby on Rails is fun. Being such a Django/Python fanboy you’d think I hate all the things that make RoR so different from Django. But I don’t. As I described it to a colleague, Ruby is the playful little brother of the strict, more mature Python.
Yesterday I wrote a Rails app called 5 Word Confessional. It was a quick exercise in playing with scaffolding, validation, migration — enough to give me a clear idea of what Rails development is like.
Take a look and tell me what you think!
Update: I purchased and setup the URL FiveWord.com on the recommendation of a friend.

Hi,
I was wondering if you could post reasons why you would use rails instead of django. I'm a big django fan and developer who explored rails at some point but didn't like it as much.
A few things that would be interesting to read would be:
* Development Speed (if a task takes you 5 hours to develop in django how long would it take you to develop it in rails)
* Portability (We love how reusable django apps are)
* Performance and scalability
* Which framework is more fun to develop in? why?
* What does rails have that django is lacking and the same with django.
I think many developers would be interested in hearing your opinion.
Thanks,
Sebastian
