Ruby on Rails: Prepare yourself, Sinatra! The world knows I'm the heavyweight champion of Ruby frameworks!
Sinatra: Oh, Rails. It's not always about the size, but the style and simplicity.
The crowd in the audience is filled with eager developers, some wearing T-shirts with code snippets, while others have laptops open, typing furiously.
Audience Member 1: Rails has so many features! It's like bringing a tank to a battle.
Audience Member 2: True, but Sinatra's elegance and minimalism feel like a fresh breeze in a crowded city.
Rails flexes his muscles, showing off an array of built-in features like scaffolding, ActiveRecord, and MVC architecture, all represented as gadgets hanging from his utility belt.
Ruby on Rails: Behold my arsenal! I am the complete package!
Sinatra, standing on a small platform, gracefully writes a single line of code on his scarf that magically transforms into a full-fledged web app.
Sinatra: It's not about how much you carry, but how you carry it.
Suddenly, a giant Ruby gem crashes through the roof, interrupting the battle. Both Rails and Sinatra look up in shock and awe.
Ruby Gem: Why fight? Together, you create a more vibrant Ruby community!
