Advantages of Ruby

• Ruby is a cross-platform interpreted object-oriented language.
• Ruby’s object-orientation is more thorough compared to other programming languages.
• Ruby is an easy-to-learn language and has a familiar syntax.
• Ruby is a dynamic programming language and is highly portable.
• Ruby is supported with powerful class libraries covering a wide variety of domains.

Advantages of Ruby on Rails (RoR)

• RoR is a framework that makes it easier to develop, deploy and maintain Web applications.
• RoR uses the meta-programming capabilities of Ruby extensively, meaning developers do not have to write as much code as compared to other languages and frameworks.
• RoR introduces the Active Record framework that was popularized by Martin Fowler. This makes it easy for RoR-based Web applications to interact with databases.
• RoR gives precedence to convention over configuration. This helps eliminate the huge amounts of configuration code that needs to be written in other frameworks.
• RoR automatically creates much of the scaffolding code required to create Web-based applications.
• RoR creates simple automated tests for applications that can be easily extended.
