2. Django uses Python, emphasizing
the clarity and readability of the code.
Whereas, Rails uses Ruby programming
language designed with the emphasis
on “enjoying” writing the language.
Language
4. In terms of User Interface, they
both are the absolute winners,
because they are created to offer
a high-class experience via
add-ons and plugins.
User Interface
5. Rails is faster by 0.7% than Django.
In terms of performance, Django
may
have an edge over Rails as the REST
framework is one of the prominent
advantages of it.
Speed and Performance
6. Creativity and stability are two
elements necessary for development.
Rails has the ability to juggle both
by allowing reuse of the code to
minimize the dependencies. It uses
the Convention over Configuration
approach, freeing the coders from
additional efforts.
Stability
7. Django’s installation process is
easy and hence, only takes about
a minute to install. For Rails, you
need to first understand what bundle
and Gems are, to install the packages
for Ruby.
Installation
8. NASA uses Django frameworks-
a fact in itself advocating how secure
it is. Django is backed with
middlewares
while Rails is supported with active
records. All in all, both frameworks
are reliable options.
Security
9. Django lags behind a little in
comparison to Rails. It has better
scalability which is the result of its
attributes such as freedom and
flexibility of code.
Scalability
10. Django follows two principles–
DRY and “Explicit is better than
Implicit”.
Rails uses DRY with Convention over
Configuration, advocating one must
follow conventions instead of creating
your own configurations for
productivity.
Principles of Development
11. Django helps in developing complex
database-driven websites and apps
in less time, with efficiency in system
administration, scientific programming,
data analytics, etc. Rails assists in
developing database-backend web
apps by providing better usability
and freedom.
Usage
12. Django has an open-source ecosystem,
implying that there are libraries and
tools (paid and free). Django community
has over 11,000 people. Rails in
contrast also has a highly active
community of
5,000 people.
Community Support
13. Python is an easy language to learn
among its contenders, making the
learning curve of Django small. On
the contrary, Rails has a very steep
learning curve due to independent
concepts that developers need to
hone.
Learning Curve
