What is the difference between Ruby on Rails and Ruby? I have asked four people but none can come up with a definitive answer. Is Rails a library of sorts for Ruby, a la Django to Python or Cocoa to Objective C, or is it a totally different language with different capabilities?
What can one do on Rails that cannot be done just with ruby?
Rails is a framework for building web applications with Ruby. Ruby is a general purpose programming language. Yes, Rails is analogous to Django.
