Well, the comparison is not really fair, Rails is a framework for building webapp, whereas Go is a language with a standard library.

To simplify a bit: Go is in the same bag as C++/C#/Java, Rails is in the same bag as PHP & [Symfony/Laravel].

If you're mass building CRUD web applications against customers requirements then, clearly, RoR is the best tool for the job (versus Golang).

> Go is in the same bag as C++/C#/Java, Rails is in the same bag as PHP & [Symfony/Laravel].

Go is in the same bag as C++/C#/Java/Ruby/PHP (languages)

Rails is in the same bag as Symfony/Laravel (frameworks)

I literally said 'Rails is a framework for building webapp, whereas Go is a language with a standard library'. what's your point?

Ruby is a language distinct from the Rails framework.

PHP is a language distinct from the other frameworks listed.

Small nitpick, but I always hate to see conflation of languages and frameworks when making comparisons.

For the record, I was not confusing anything here, it was you thinking that I was first listing languages then frameworks, which was not the case.

They moved PHP from framework to language, it’s a small nit but worth picking I suppose.
