Well, the problem is that Rails (and ActiveSupport) is borderline idiomatic Ruby. I imagine the vast majority of Ruby codebases use them. And honestly I don't even know how vanilla Ruby stacks up to Python, it's almost an inconceivable idea (though I left Ruby behind some years ago.)
- vinceguidry 6y agoRails is dominating Ruby less and less every year. There are plenty of alternative web frameworks to use, and Rails is a really heavy-weight thing to include if you're not building a website. I'll pull in an ActiveSupport module every once in awhile but so few of the things I write are websites that need Rails.
