🆚 Frappe Framework vs. Ruby on Rails

Frappe is a full-stack web application framework written in Python and JavaScript with MariaDB as the primary database.

It treats metadata as data via a "DocType" model, offers a rich admin UI called Desk, real-time pub/sub via socket.io, background jobs using Python RQ, built-in email and PDF generation, and a built-in CLI tool called Bench for app deployment and management.

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.
