That's a strong statement. Anyone care to back it up? I've never used Rails/Django.
- jeltz 6y agoI have used Rails professionally and I disagree with it. Personally I think Roda and Sinatra are more productive than Rails for most applications. Where Rails shines is the big plugin ecosystem, but many of those plugins are sadly not the great. And ignoring the plugin ecosystem Rails is pretty meh, not any worse or better than any of hundreds of frameworks out there. I would certainly not count it among the best ones.
- fernandotakai 6y agoi've been using django on-and-off since 2006 (0.95) and everything just works. testing is well integrated, db access can be done through django's amazing ORM or, via raw sql. you can get a fully functional REST API, with documentation, authentication, authorization, testing within a day's work (thanks django rest framework!). also, there's so many django specific libraries out there, that if you need something (like, stripe support), you can just "pip install" it.
- lnenad 6y agoYou can do all of those things with Node, PHP or Golang.
- lnenad 6y agoDo you really think it's possible to back it up? They're probably talking out of their ass and rarely used anything else.
- jamil7 6y agoProbably a bit too much hyperbole in my comment above you're right. But I've used a bunch of other languages and frameworks including the ones you mention in your other comment. My point was less about those specific tools and more about why try to do everything with one tool not Rails/Django fanboyism.
