I gave a talk on Volt yesterday using 0.9, and it went great. I'm really excited to see where the framework goes. It may not be a solution to all the problems a lot of us face with webdev, but I think it really takes me back to my first days with Rails and just having fun making something, even if its not a production piece. I've also seen it used for internal tools and had a good amount of success. :) Hoping it keeps taking off.

Can someone who has used both Rails and Volt to an extent beyond a basic web application provide a rundown comparing and contrasting the two, please?

Ryan's talk on isomorphic development is a good starting point.
