Can node.js replace Ruby? [closed]

Question

I'd like to know if it's possible to create a complete website using node.js (just like we do using Sinatra and Rails).

Also, is there any framework as good as Sinatra and Rails?

Is this the best use for node?

Regards.

Answer 1

No, node.js can't replace ruby. You'd have trouble writing most of the scripts I regularly write in Ruby using node.js (even disregarding the difficulty of running them on my local machine).

Now, on the other hand, if you'd asked "Can node.js replace Rails/Sinatra/etc?", the answer might be quite different.
