We also might see more people moving back to Rails because of speed, because as they probably know now after rewriting in a different ecosystem... it was usually their app code that was the problem.
- Zababa 5y agoI don't think that's true. Sure some people will do rewrites for no reasons, but they aren't usually the type to then go back to something once it has improved, since they weren't after real world metrics and improvments but novelty. Maybe a bit to try the hotwire stuff before going to Phoenix, Go, Rust or even Nim.
- JamesSwift 5y agoHaha, I should note I wasn't actually very serious they would move back. I just wanted to highlight that a lot of people have moved off Rails for {insert other thing here} because they just have no idea how to debug or analyze performance and bottlenecks. I've fixed a lot of Rails apps as a consultant, and its almost always bad DB usage (AR queries or lack of indexes) and/or lack of caching.
