RailwayJS/Express on Railway: A true node.js alternative to Ruby On Rails?


As author of this project (railwayjs) I could tell you: sure, it's cool, use it, share it with colleagues, fork repo, and improve it. But as developer, how use this tool every day, I say to you: this is very young toolkit (less than 1 year old), it still needs more love than just use-out-of-box, as RoR, I not recommend to use it in production, if you are do not completely understand what happens in the app code.

So, if you want to have RoR replacement in nodejs in future - use it, and report about issues. It motivates me to make this project better.

Thanks for posting.


I don't know if the asynchronous nature of the Node environment will ever be quite as elegant as Ruby for Rails-like applications.

I say stick to what you're good at. At least until Node supports something like the Actor model to help with callback hell.
