Ruby on Rails vs. Django vs. Nodejs

What I’ve learnt in my 4 years as a web developer is that after learning Python, understanding how Django works after a year of learning Python, it was way easy for me to pick up JavaScript, then Vue, React and now nodeJs using the ExpressJs framework. Vue, React, I have been using for a year now, Node, I just picked up a week ago, and I find it’s actually way easier than some people perceive it to be, but I feel like it’s always easier to understand any other web programming tech if your first was Python, with the Django Framework. So yeah, if you were still wondering, all I’m saying is, I think Django is the most robust web Framework.

I love Ruby alot and it makes me feel good when programming

Ruby on Rails is very easy for beginners. It automatically creates the modules and database connections are very easy to configure. If you wanna develop faster, go for Rails. But NodeJs does not give an off-the-shelf framework feel. Every package has to be installed manually. It doesn't follow any convention which might be an advantage in certain areas. Database configuration is difficult.

A surprising number of companies still use the Spring Framework as well. It's rather slow and complicated to learn, but very reliable.

People will have to research their local market. For example, In Australia there are lot of django, Java-spring, C#, and node express roles. Ruby and PHP are used in few companies. However, django is mostly used in small companies, including start-ups. Banks and Large corporations use Java-spring/C#. Node-express is used by both small and large companies.

I agree. Node js is more popular now for web development. But Python is cool because people use it for a lot of other stuff too. I think Node, PHP, and even Ruby are mostly just used for backend web. That’s my opinion. :D

I have worked with RoR and Django and I prefer rails for the features and fast development but Django is a very good framework can be done everything you need.

Looking at the number of new questions asked per year inside StackOverflow is a hint to the new people that are getting interested to learn that technology (and as newbies they have questions to ask), and not necessarily what are the available jobs (or how much the companies are using that technology) . It also reflects the lack of good books/video-courses on that technology! Imagine a language/framework that is so good, so user-friendly and so well documented and with some good books, that thousands of programmers use it, but only a few hundreds questions need to be asked per year!

fact: ROR is used twice as many times as Django.

fact: because objects in Ruby can learn to respond to behaviors (methods) with which they weren't instantiated, ROR can do some pretty fancy and flexible stuff Django cannot do.

Together with Postgresql, ROR is the most stable, most efficient, and most powerful web solution.

I enjoyed the video! Just so you know, the math is wrong for the Ruby On Rails at 7:45. It's 43%, not 70%. That's less than Django.

If you want a painful and nighmare development choose node. Since i just tried it for project, and i will never comeback.👿 for me rails way so easy, plus more netflix time 👌.. or dont choose the 3 of them.. choose golang..

Rails is a Rolls Royce of web frameworks. Its a true "full-stack" framework because it has ajax support.

I bet out of those 200k+ questions on Django, more than half are regarding migrations. I am currently learning Django and migrations are a pain in the.. you know where!

NodeJS
But it was bought by Microsoft
Ruby opensource and she has a future in this
and it is much faster than NodeJS
C# sharp as I understood this language if you want to work in companies almost everywhere .
Python in the future will be large-scale open source language and it will have a ide like qt (C++ )

StackOverflow has a trends tool. Here is possible to see the percentage of questions asked in each technology:

This video is only about the popularity of each technologies, not strengths and weaknesses of each.

Node js has been the first backend I used, fortunately that knowledge was transferable to learn Spring framework with java, and I liked it.There are a myriad of Spring framework tutorials so it's really easy to start.But learning java is arduous compare to JavaScript.

The volume is a bit lower in this video.

Javascript development is such a hot mess, I've gone back to Ruby (and Rails) and I'm much happier for it. Keeping Javascript frameworks for the front-end.
