Comments on: 5 things Ruby on Rails has that Java doesn’t http://gabrito.com/post/the-appeal-of-ruby-over-java Anecdotes on Technology Leadership, Ruby, Java, Scala, Cloud Computing, Open-Source, SEO, and Design Thu, 24 Nov 2011 19:43:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Ashish http://gabrito.com/post/the-appeal-of-ruby-over-java/comment-page-1#comment-40148 Ashish Wed, 20 Jun 2007 04:54:13 +0000 http://gabrito.com/post/the-appeal-of-ruby-over-java#comment-40148 A couple of points that I thought should be highlighted: 1. Thanks to Ruby, Rails follows what it calls "Don't Repeat Yourself". It avoids any kind of redundancy or code repetition only possible due to the dynamic nature of Ruby. This is something very difficult to achieve in strongly typed languages like java. 2. Rails encourages conventions over configuration. While a J2EE developer spends a lot of time in XML configurations and tying up the components, Rails does this implicitly with minimal or no manual intervention.

Point #2: Yes! Can't agree more! And that could well be the biggest productivity gainer. Point #5: I think this is not talked about as much, but I agree, the conventions goes a long way - producing more consistent web apps, amongst different developers... and believe it or not, might very well be more consistent than how some companies are producing their various own web projects!
