20+ years of experience here, including a decade of Rails in the middle. And Ruby/Rails have certainly caused me enough headaches. And as a proponent of pure fp, I’m not fully convinced anyone should be using a dynamic language if they have a reasonable way to avoid it. Still… I will admit, you can get a lot done quickly with Rails. And if I had to build a db-backed CRUD-ish website/API, Rails would be on my list of choices. AND AND, as a fan and believer in SQL, I still actually like ActiveRecord.
