🆚 Apache Wicket vs. Ruby on Rails

Apache Wicket is a component-oriented backend framework for Java that enables developers to build dynamic web applications using pure Java and HTML.

It supports reusable components, AJAX functionality, session management, CSRF protection, and integration with authentication libraries such as Shiro and Spring Security.

Ruby on Rails is a full-stack framework that includes everything needed to build database-driven web applications using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern.

It emphasizes a standardized folder structure and naming, follows DRY ("don't repeat yourself") and the "convention over configuration" principles, provides an Active Record ORM, a built-in asset pipeline for CSS and JavaScript preprocessing, and an integrated testing framework.
