don't know why everyone assumes jvm language = over engineering. I agree that some jvm language code can be more robust, but the reality is most of us should live in our test suites. I would even say that Java test suites start and run faster than the standard rails tests ( without all the things to make it faster like spork). The frameworks argument of configuration vs convention I think is moot as most jvm language frameworks are taking a more conventional approach, but allowing for greater configuration now. on the other side the reality of a startup is you're going to push out so much code / features / product based on demand so fast that a lot of the things that you consider building for the future will be thrown out the window pretty fast. Just build it, see if it works, and move to the next thing.
