16 years later there's no tech stack that can replicate this demo (except Elixir LiveView [1]). And yet we're told tech has progressed.

- jack_riminton 5y agoExactly, just use rails
- nsonha 5y agoanyone can give us a run down what was demoed? I find the claim that first version of Rails beats EVERYTHING in existence today (except Phoenix you said, does that mean Phoenix is superior than everything else?) very dubious.
- dmitriid 5y agoThe original "How to build a blog in 15 minutes with Rails" from 2005: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gzj723LkRJY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gzj723LkRJY I've yet to see a single video like that from any of the new remixes/redwoods/nexts/nuxts/<god there are so many of them> And one that doesn't require 270 KB of Javascript to display a static page like Remix's landing page.
- nsonha 5y agoI didn't say javascript. other languages exist you know. I build my blog in next in like 5 mins and dont need to spin up a freaking db for it. your reply is really on point btw, I ask if any one has a list of features and you say here is a video watch it and make the list
- dmitriid 5y ago> I build my blog in next in like 5 mins and dont need to spin up a freaking db for it. Yeah, you built your static site using about a million dependencies etc. Now try building it with a DB, because that's what a lot of sites require. And yup, rails could easily give you that 16 years ago, with scaffolding and what not. > i ask if any one has a list of features and you say here is a video watch it Because the video is quite short, and shows things unachievable with most (or all?) current frameworks. Like building a fully-functional DB-enabled app in under 15 minutes with introspection.
- nsonha 5y ago> things unachievable with most (or all?) current frameworks. What things? you are wasting a lot of words and saying nothing. I'm watching the video and see nothing impressive. I mean it sounded impressive back in the day, but today? Symphony for example can do all of this. Not that I like PHP it's just the only framework I know, but there are plenty of those in existence
- dmitriid 5y ago> What things? Let me quote that for you: --- start quote --- building a fully-functional DB-enabled app in under 15 minutes with introspection [etc]. --- end quote ---
- nsonha 5y agoany framework can do that? Next can do that too, I only mentioned static web because i think it's pretty absurd to spin up a database for a blog. who makes claims like "Rails is the only framework that has database with introspection"? What do you think the word "framework" means and what do you think other frameworks do?
- nsonha 5y agoNest and django Those are the name of 2 random frameworks, one js and one python, name ONE thing Rails can do that these cant
- o_m 5y agoWhat about Laravel? I haven't used Rails or Laravel, but I am currently evaluating Laravel. It seems like it does exactly the same as Rails. Laravel got Livewire. In my country Ruby/Rails was never a thing, so hiring and building a team would require a lot more effort.
