The fact that Sails never caught on to match or exceed Rails usage doesn't mean the main problem was primarily performance. Rails, for one, has a huge incumbency advantage (2004). Second, Rails is just easier than throwing together a pile of NPM modules. Imagine if you had 0 knowledge of the NPM ecosystem. It'd be quite a lot of decision making to evaluate a basket of modules that could emulate all of what rails provides.
- petre 7y agoThworing together a pile of third party NPM modules is a bad decision anyway. This is precisely why we picked Mojolicious to use as a Perl web framework: minimal dependencies, minimal breakage, reimplements some functionality. It turned out to be a good decision as it's also actively maintained compared to the others.
