What value does Rails provide to Ruby?
- rglullis 2y agoDoes Ruby have an ORM/HTTP request handler/URL router in the standard library? I am not sure I follow the analogy. If all you are taking from tailwind is the utility classes, fine. This is the part that provides value. But tailwind is not just that, is it?
- crowcroft 2y agoRails is a fully formed opinion on how you should write a web app in Ruby and all the various technical components you need to fully realize that opinion. Tailwind is a fully formed opinion on how to use CSS (utility classes etc.) and all the various technical components you need to fully realize that opinion. Thinking of Tailwind as just a bunch of regular CSS utility components is misunderstanding the scope of the project. That alone has a lot of tradeoffs and compromises - the file size is absurd and you can't bundle things into components, you also can't have arbitrary values in the utility classes. It wouldn't be a complete opinion on 'the best way to use utility classes', or however you want to frame Tailwind.
