>Node.js comes so close but anemic standard library The nodejs API is rather big really. If you're using Ruby as your standard of normal sized almost everything would look small in comparison, but "anemic" is a stretch. You'd really hate Lua. If you're taking suggestions, you might enjoy Janet[1]. It has a pretty large user API, lots of bells and whistles included in the standard libs like you'd find in Ruby, and lots of different ways to achieve the same result like Ruby. It's been a while since I checked out the ecosystem, but I was _very_ happy with the Joy Framework[2]. It definitely doesn't come close to the scope of Rails, but I think it _does_ near Rails in it's easy of use for the developer with it's scaffolding, controller generation etc. [1]: https://janet-lang.org/ [2]: https://github.com/joy-framework/joy

I wrote a few websites with it, notably: https://github.com/swlkr/janetdocs I also scraped together a large web framework and a small one: https://github.com/joy-framework/joy https://github.com/swlkr/osprey

I wrote a really naive web stack from http to db all in janet https://github.com/joy-framework/joy I wrote it because I really like janet and there wasn’t a web framework in janet yet, although I think there may be more now
