🆚 Ruby on Rails vs. Web2py

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.

Web2py is an open-source full-stack Python framework for rapid development of secure database-driven web applications that works out of the box with no configuration files.

It includes a web-based IDE, a built-in web server, a database abstraction layer, automatic migrations, form generation, support for multiple protocols (HTML, REST, JSON, XML-RPC etc.), and built-in security against common vulnerabilities.
