In the 21st century, Continual professional and rapid development is no longer optional. Now this is where ROR comes in. With its super simple syntax and numerous libraries, you can complete something in a matter of hours what would have been days otherwise. Also, Rails enjoys a decent spot in the list of top-paying technologies. According to StackOverflow’s 2022 survey, Ruby is 5th on the list and Ruby’s developers earn an average of $93,000 per year but we are talking about ROR so in terms of web frameworks list Rails stand on 2nd amongst the top paying.
What is ROR:
ROR or “Rails” is an open-source framework for web development. Ruby, an open-source programming language with more than 1,00,000 gems/libraries, provides the basis for the Rails framework. In Ruby, a very cool thing you can do is write code as one-liner which means that you can write only one line which is equal to multiple lines in other languages. Alright enough blah blah let me show you an example:
Code of factorial in ruby:puts 5.downto(1).inject(:*) that’s it 
bet you can’t write factorial like this in any other language.
RoR Perks:
- It has a Standard Directory Structure, which means that no matter what project you are working on the hierarchy would be the same.
- Rails provide you MVC pattern. This divides the application into just three basic layers
- Models for data-handling logic
- Views for the UI and presentation
- Controllers query models for data and present it to the users with the help of views.
- RoR also comes with ActiveRecord. It let you write queries like ruby code which translated to SQL saving you a lot of effort.
- The most engrossing part of RoR is Meta-programming. it is a technique in which code operates on code rather than on data. It can be used to write programs that write code dynamically at run time. it gives Ruby the ability to open and modify classes, create methods on the fly, and much more.
