Is there any other framework which can claim that it compares well to Ruby on Rails speed of development? I.e. conventions over configurations? Asking as I don’t want to learn ruby

Possibly Laravel, but then you’d have to learn PHP! :D

All jokes aside, having worked in both languages and frameworks, I’ve enjoyed the Dev experience in either option.

Grateful for both dev communities as well.

I used to code ruby. Now in python land and am using flask. Theres conventions but no scaffolding. Ai code tools make the scaffolding feel redundant anyway.

Django is the closest I can think of. Many unicorns built on Django.

Both Rails and Django are horribly slow though, so once you get to some critical scale you gotta start doing some real weird stuff like Instagram did with turning off Python's GC [1], etc.

I’ve been asking this question for a while since I love Rails but I don’t like Ruby that much. I think only Django comes close, although I haven’t tried it, but I dislike Python much more than Ruby.

There are always attempts in every language to replicate the convention over configuration and batteries included approach of Rails, but they all lose steam pretty quickly.

I just don’t think there is an alternative to Rails. It’s a giant project that is actively developed for over 2 decades now.

Django is more or less Python's equivalent of Rails. Its admin panel is nice, especially for a solo developer trying to manage something they built in a weekend.

I have heard Laravel is shockingly complete and most others will pale in comparison to in terms of out of the box speed to first feature and the full CI/CD setup for most any kind of product.

Speed of iteration rules above all.
