Rails is a web application framework written in the Ruby programming language, and was first developed in 2004. As open source software (that is, code that is publicly accessible), Ruby on Rails has benefited from the knowledge, skills and insight of over 5000 developers to get to where it is today – version 6.1.3 (as of February 2021), having been through thousands of revisions, tickets, and patches to improve and enhance the framework.
