RubyConf 2014 - Isomorphic App Development with Ruby and Volt by Ryan Stout

HN Theater has aggregated all Hacker News stories and comments that mention Confreaks's video "RubyConf 2014 - Isomorphic App Development with Ruby and Volt by Ryan Stout".
Youtube Summary
As single page apps become common, more and more of our logic becomes duplicated between the front and back-end. We also spend more time writing API glue code to move data between each side. With isometric development you can remove the boilerplate of web development and the cognitive load of switching between languages.

Existing isomorphic web frameworks run JavaScript on the server. Volt lets developers write their app code in ruby and have it run both in the browser and on the server. Data is automatically synchronized to remove the need for REST API development.

Is it coincidence that Microsoft called a similar thing Volta [1] a couple of years ago? Or is there some kind of pun or whatever that I am missing?

It's a confidence actually, I hadn't heard of Volta until just now. I originally was going to name it AmpFramework, but that turned out to be a thing also :-)
