Ruby-On-Rails doesn't seem to have any EOF type layer, although it
does do object-relational mapping. Also, I think a lot of the hype
surrounding RoR is how quickly you can do _something_. I suspect that
once you start refining a product and adding complexity, the hard work
sets in and the advantages aren't as big.
