🆚 Grails vs. Ruby on Rails

Grails is a Groovy-based web application framework for the JVM built on top of Spring Boot.

It integrates GORM for object-relational mapping, supports SQL, MongoDB, and Neo4j, and offers built-in tools for asynchronous programming, JSON rendering, and RESTful APIs.

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.
