Considerable use of convention over configuration? Not sure what you mean here.
Built-in object mapping to database schemas? Yes.
I'm also referring to the clean MVC/OO style project architecture.
Here's how I described it in another thread:
With modern Perl, code is usually clean and free of crazy syntax. With a OO architecture where the base classes do most of the work (such as auto authentication, auto encoding/decoding, auto DB joins, etc.) and you do business/game logic in the upper modules.
Ah, OK. That just sounds like Ruby, though, nothing special to Rails about that.
But perhaps I got Rails confused with Ruby with my brief experience with it. I thought Rails provided the tools to auto-create your project structure in an MVC style.
If you use something like Catalyst of CGI::Application you get built in things like MVC project structure, auto populate a 'class' from a table entry, etc.
Basically, you get all those built-in functionality for building web apps that you would in Rails. But, I very briefly played with Rails, so I may have its definition confused.
