Despite the name, it has nothing to do with Ruby-on-Rails. The name, coined by @Vjeux, is more about the purpose: provide a full-stack, batteries included framework for making apps with React. It embraces the React core principles all the way, from the data backend all the way up.
This is very confusing for Ruby developers for more than one reason:
- The name implies this has something to do with Ruby on Rails while it has nothing to do with Ruby on Rails.
- The repo name is react-rails, which is identical to the official gem[0] a lot of Ruby on Rails developers use to include React in their Rails projects.
