I hate that Rails came to dominate the Ruby language in most people's minds. It's such a nice dynamic language on it's own that you can use anywhere you use Python (if the libraries exist for it).

And there were minimal frameworks like Sinatra when everyone was running to Node to use Express because of Rails, ignoring that Rails wasn't the only Ruby game in town.




IIRC, Express was actually originally based on Sinatra.

When I was doing a ruby server stuff I was using Sinatra and when I switched to JS (for various reasons) I looked specifically for Sinatra like libraries and found Express.
