Could you explain why, at least as it pertains to web development?

As a (former) Common Lisp developer I find Ruby on Rails suffices for the vast majority of needs, and believe its popularity and maturity pays off in productivity gains.

The biggest gap in Rails is websockets. There's just nothing close to ease of use that Phoenix has in that regard. I have not, however, done much with action cable. I don't feel much desire to do so since Phoenix exists.
