🆚 Flow vs. Ruby on Rails

Flow, formerly known as TYPO3 Flow or FLOW3, is a PHP web application framework focused on Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and clean code principles.

It offers a modular architecture, a powerful templating engine called Fluid, supports Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP), and provides transparent object persistence.

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.
