I'm sorry but I just don't get this, in your previous comment, you mentioned:
You are more than free to re-implement anything Rails does yourself and release it as a gem. Modularity and flexibility are built right in.
And right here, you also mentioned:
I'm not surprised he found it difficult to actually integrate into Rails. Rails is a framework. You don't treat a framework like a library. It's not going to play nice with your design because frameworks by their very nature impose the design on you.
So which one is correct here?
- vinceguidry 10y agoFlexibility is available in Rails. But is not a top priority. I would say that Rails gets most of its flexibility from Ruby. You have Rails Metal, which is intended to provide a modular way to extend Rails. If you know Ruby well, you can take advantage. Solnic had the capability to do so, and did, but eventually chose to leave the ecosystem. I'm fine with that. I don't expect the techs i use and love to be all things to all people. I just wish he hasn't chosen to shit on the tech that sustained him for so long.
- dragonwriter 10y agoI don't think the honest explanation of the reason he chose to leave the Results ecosystem is shitting on it; and I think that description is itself a sign of the kind of the kind of tribalism in technical communities that obstructs fruitful discussions of technical subjects.
- patates 10y ago> I just wish he hasn't chosen to shit on the tech that sustained him for so long. Oh please stop treating your favorite tech like a religion.
- askyourmother 10y agoRails is not a religion, it a tech tool (a pretty poor one at that), discussing it's many flaws is not shitting on it.
