Redwoodjs seems active, Sails seems less active, Adonisjs I’ve heard of.
The lack of a clear leader Rails clone in NodeJS land is probably the ecosystem’s biggest weakness. The downstream effect is theres a bunch of typical libraries/clients are just… MIA in the node ecosystem. Like, there’s no production grade Memcached client for node. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We had to fork one & heavily patch it for Notion.
- miohtama 2y agoOne (not only) of the problem is that you cannot do it in JavaScript very well due to poor underlying support for types. You neded TypeScript to have the equicalent of ActiveRecord or Django model.
- jitl 2y agoThis doesn’t follow because both Django and Rails evolved in languages without a type checking compiler. Rails is super dynamic in ways that would make Typescript type checker kind of sad.
