I mean, Ruby was created in 1995, Python in 1991. Node was first released in 2009. That&#x27;s not an entirely fair comparison since, of course, <i>JavaScript</i> was created long before Node, but Node introduced the language to a new environment, and a lot of complications needed (and in some cases, still need) to be sorted out.<p>As for no recommend approach - that&#x27;s deliberate. I don&#x27;t think most people working on Node <i>want</i> a Rails equivalent.
