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.

- kayodelycaon 5y agoFunny you should mention Lua. It’s a fun little language I very much enjoy. Lua isn’t typically used for business applications with heavy logic and a lot of data manipulation.
