Express is fairly rails-like (for node.js).

Maybe a fairer comparison is Sinatra? That is, Express is a lot slimmer than Rails and works via a DSL based around the HTTP verbs[1].

Another JS framework to look at is Backbone[2].

That would definitely be a fairer comparison, but he was asking for 'a framework like rails'; Express is the closest.
