Have you tried some of the other ruby frameworks, like merb? Merb is not that different from rails, but seems to perform better and can be used with other ORM's than ActiveRecord as well.
- tx 19y agoWhen we started nearly two years ago, we had to quickly drop Windows and simultaneously learn Linux/bash, vim, Ruby, Rails, Apache, SVN plus million other things in a hostile and unknown land of old :-))) No, I have not heard of Merb back then, we compared RoR against PHP and went with Rails and so far it wasn't a bad ride. The key to NOT be disappointed is to do everything "Rails-way", i.e. treat DB as a dumb swamp where you keep your models. So far so good.
- mechanical_fish 19y agoI'm pretty sure Merb didn't exist two years ago, so I wouldn't be too ashamed that you didn't hear of it back then. :)
