My question is simple: what are the best use cases for each framework in real life compared to the other? I am a systems backend dev (Java, C#, Go, Python) getting interested in web dev. So far I tried out some pet projects on both frameworks, and I think both are more than amazing.
The main difference boils down to SQL vs NoSQL. Other than that, Rails is more polished, ruby is much more beautiful IMHO than JS, but then again a website without some JS looks/feels old. So since you're going to need JS why not build everything in the same language? :-)<p>Whatever you choose good luck!
I find myself doing quite a lot with Meteor + React these days!<p><a href="https://github.com/reactjs/react-meteor" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/reactjs/react-meteor</a><p>If you throw a router into the mix, you might end up doing everything with Meteor:<p><a href="https://github.com/mystor/meteor-routecore" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/mystor/meteor-routecore</a>
