Don't make me think, or why I switched to Rails from JavaScript SPAs

I think this is "the" correct analysis.

Rails has a clear one way to do things because there are no/few other options because everything else has withered away.

To put this another way: to have a convention in JS, just pick a convention, and now at least you have a convention, even if everyone else has their own.

It’s not really true that there are no other options for web development in ruby.

Roda[1], for instance, has a strong following for API work.

It’s just that Rails is a safe choice. It’ll will work fine for small teams and it will scale to the size of github when/if you need it.
