Could you explain why, at least as it pertains to web development?
As a (former) Common Lisp developer I find Ruby on Rails suffices for the vast majority of needs, and believe its popularity and maturity pays off in productivity gains.
- phamilton 10y agoThe biggest gap in Rails is websockets. There's just nothing close to ease of use that Phoenix has in that regard. I have not, however, done much with action cable. I don't feel much desire to do so since Phoenix exists.
