>Rails has been encapsulating the best practices around server side web apps for 15 years. Not to be pedantic, but I worked on Rails projects in 2006 and 2007, and had probably heard of it just a bit before that. This was during the initial Web 2 boom. I would not have thought that Rails was created much earlier than that, since I usually keep some track of at least major tech developments (although could be wrong, of course - I could have missed reading about it when it was created, or only first read about it after it became a bit popular). So anyway, I googled, and the Wikipedia article for Rails says: >Initial release: 13 December 2005; 12 years ago[1] Haven't used it lately, but I do keep reading that it is very mature and productive, as you say.
