hi @ben when i was about to start my rails journey I also affected by the notion of rails phobia . I read many article online which saying only one thing "rails is dumb ass ,its so slow bla bla bla " .I agree its slow to some extent but all these article never compare it with other frameworks on #productivity. Rails(aka ruby ) care about the person behind the framework who is writing code . I love to write code and I feel so human while writing code in ruby and rails . It elimated the pain points which i faced in PHP and python .

for example :-

def meow(say)
#do something...
end

looks so beutiful and meaning full , then this in python

def meow(this,say)
#do something...
end
