I think what parent said is referring to stuff like https://github.com/mbleigh/acts-as-taggable-on It's not only that RoR comes with a complete toolset -- it allows you to create your own libraries that extend the capabilities of the framework while keeping the developer experience terse enough through metaprogramming (compare the sample code in the README with the file acts-as-taggable-on/lib/acts-as-taggable-on/taggable.rb, where you can see how the library is opening the classes in runtime through the class_eval technique. I'm sure something similar can be achieved in C# but not so sure about the elegance of the result.
In What's New in Ruby on Rails 8
We're tracking Rails 4 compatibility for the major gems we use, based on a bit of skimming GitHub Issues and Pull Requests. Here are the highlights from that list: CanCan[1] has a '2.0' branch where Rails 4 support is being worked on. It also has PR #838 open for supporting strong_parameters in the current stable 1.6 tree. Devise[2] pushed 3.0.0.rc about a month ago with Rails 4 support. FriendlyId[3] seems to have work in progress on their master branch. Acts-as-taggable-on[4] states in their README that they are compatible in version 2.4.1, but there seem to be a couple open issues related to Rails 4. edit: formatting [1]: https://github.com/ryanb/cancan/ [2]: https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/ [3]: https://github.com/FriendlyId/friendly_id [4]: https://github.com/mbleigh/acts-as-taggable-on
