In Javaland you can have a huge nested tree of dependencies but you often don't have a "Gemfile.lock" or such to list them all in a file in your repo...

- PH95VuimJjqBqy 3y agoI'm not a fan of the Java community either, they love their structure. people jest about the FactoryFactoryFactory but you'll legit see that stuff out in the wild. Paradoxically, I like the PHP community because they're so practical (yes, the language itself is ugly). RoR built rake for running jobs (it does more things, but that was the primary motivation). PHP community just used cron. Although, having said that, Laravel takes a lot of its cues from RoR and has the same sort of tooling. But when Laravel first hit the scene a lot of people would criticize it for its use of static, but it was legitimately nice to use and that won out in the end. I don't make a judgement of Rails as a community. Most of my Ruby work has been Ruby on Rails so that's' the lense I see things through. Rubyists may be the most practical of all, it's just that so much of Ruby code is RoR that it's difficult for me to separate them out.
