I'm working on Braph, a parametric search engine and a model-as-a-service solution. It's about classes and instances, where you can save your data with certain properties and search by its characteristics. In the demo I create a Pokemon class and create many instances, even with relations between them (evolution), then I could search a pokemon by its weight or evolution. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfOvGYEYJq0

Why Ruby? 13 years ago

With Java. IMHO Play framework make more agile the web development with Java, I think that it's similar to Rails. I had some problems with its Ebean ORM and MySQL, also the scala templates have some limitations (e.g. I couldn't declare a variable). I chose Play because in my college all knows Java, and at that moment Play was the better framework for web development with Java. It's my project with Play Framework 2 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5Uf3N1rgWc and I'm going to still work with Play sometimes.

I have just started to learn Python and Django after read a lot of questions about "Ruby/Rails vs Python/Django". I worked with Node.js since 2011 and with Play last year.

I think that "node.js" is excelent for build real-time applications in a few days but for huge projects is a little difficult to handle all the "callback-style" and async results, IMHO it's about readable code , a key factor in developer teams.
