That has been the most disappointing thing to me with rails. The ruby part of it is so nice. The front end has always made me feel doubtful. It’s not really the rails team fault that the frond end landscape is so tumultuous.
- blacktriangle 5y agoI think a huge part of the problem is that they keep trying to Railsify the front-end. It's impossible to build a decent abstraction over as fractured and fast-moving a target as the whole front-end tool chain. Webpack is already annoying as is, hiding it behind the webpacker gem for no good reason was a shitshow.
- mberning 5y agoThat’s a good point. If it were possible to successfully “railsify” the front end that would be amazing.
