Comment Re:Java's answer to Rails: Groovlets! (Score 1) 406
Groovlets, though a refreshing way to not have to risk getting any Java on your clothes, don't at all provide the features of Rails. They are synonymous with Java servlets, which is pretty much the bare metal request/response paradigm, accessible as an API.
The Ruby equivalent to Groovlets is WEBRick's Servlets. Rails can run on top of this, but it provides a much higher level of abstraction.
