🆚 Java vs. Ruby on Rails

Java is a multi-platform, object-oriented programming language first released by Sun Microsystems in 1995.

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.
