Probably never. DHH wants to keep Rails small enough that a 1 person founder can use it and be productive with it. Shopify is already massive and some of their projects are taking them in a different direction than DHH wants for Rails. For example, Liquid templates (which are intentionally less powerful than ERB since they're designed to be used by Shopify store owners) and Sorbet (DHH hates types).
- Onavo 2y agoTheir pet web framework remix is also quite underfunded compared to Next.js
- gedy 2y agoDHH joining won't help that I suspect
- ksec 2y ago> Sorbet (DHH hates types). I believe Sorbet is from Stripe?
- fjyasdlkjw 2y agoI hope this leads to DHH adopting Sorbet into Rails given Shopify has a strong interest in it. On second thought, It is a large investment for something that isn't a core Ruby feature.
- dismalaf 2y agoUgh, all the companies that start with S and use Ruby. My bad. Got thrown off because they have Sorbet stuff in Ruby LSP and other Sorbet tools. They have 1.1k Github repos... Lots of TS, Go, Rust and lots of non-Rails things...
