So what would you pick for producing an MVP web app fast that you also want to run in production, maintain, patch and scale that has a solid eco-system of pre-built libraries you can just plug in to solve problems?

Java (Spring Boot, Quarkus).

I prefer a Rails backend, especially in the agentic world.

With an agent on a greenfield is when I’m most reliant on a framework for good standards and a clear architecture.

This is one of the things Rails does really well.

I strongly prefer Rails with agentic development. Rails comes with nearly everything you need to make a full-featured application, and that makes it easier and faster to use with agents.

No other framework comes close, and telling me that I can have my agents cobble together this same baseline, badly, from a hodgepodge of new code and random libraries is not compelling.
