As someone who has done real work in a LOT of languages over the past 20 years, and has settled on Rails as my tool of choice for the past 10 years or so (when some requirement doesn't preclude it), what's the alternative? I really like ActiveRecord, how migrations are handled, the frightenly-expansive gem ecosystem, and how it allows for any front-end goodies you care to code. It's not like Rails has sat still either. I struggle to keep up with the new developments, and I'm making new apps with it every year. As a complete framework, what is Rails' competition?
- thsowers 9y agoOne of the competitors in this area is Meteor[0]. I haven't used Django in many years, but that might also qualify [0]: https://www.meteor.com/ https://www.meteor.com/
- acmecorps 9y agoNot OP, but I think he means frameworks using Ruby though, because I'm also in the same boat as him.
- knubie 9y agoHanami[0] is a nice contrast to Rails, although not nearly as mature yet. [0] http://hanamirb.org/ http://hanamirb.org/
