If you combine together all the static web 1.0 sites in the world with all the backend-as-a-service companies (Commercelayer, Stripe not exactly, the weather ones), and mix in the mostly-just-plumbing backends you can come up with by stitching together AWS offerings, and top it off with all the things you can do by writing less than 100 lines to run a Lambda function, you have covered a huge number of use cases without ever needing to learn Rails.
- theappsecguy 4y agoYou can do a lot of things, depends on your goals I suppose. You seem to be really sold on the concept of not learning Rails, so I won’t argue with you further. I personally found Rails much easier to learn and use than React or pretty much anything I use in the JS world. Rails is built with developer happiness in mind. JS though became the answer to all questions for reasons that are beyond me. You can’t escape it entire so I try to limit how much I have to use it.
- whatshisface 4y agoI don't know if there's a rails-of-js yet, but Svelte is pretty nice.
- theappsecguy 4y agoIt is nice. I’m not seeing enough adoption unfortunately which is negative in terms of work opportunities
- 0xblinq 4y agoFor me that's Adonis.js. I've been using it for over a year and it's great. Although it's more the "Laravel of js" than the "Rails of js". P.S: Yes, I know Nest.js and I don't like it and don't think it's better or even closer to the developer experience you get with Adonis.
- theappsecguy 4y agoHave you tried Sails.js? Seems like Adonis is not very actively developed?
