He's speaking of two years of node.js and two years of java. Two years is generally not enough experience in languages to adequately evaluate their prototype potential.
In addition, comparing RoR to Node.js and Java is incorrect. A more accurate comparison would be RoR to Node.js/react or Java/spring, which gives you a lot of the scaffolding and framework and presentation layer which lets you develop more quickly.
Well, that's sort of the whole point. The Rails part of Ruby on Rails is the framework, totally apart from Ruby the language.
Comparing RoR to plain Node.js where you have to write all the scaffolding for the presentation layer doesn't make any sense. Rails gives you a lot of that for free.
