There are? For example, rails has had boilerplate generation commands for a couple of decades.
- mhluongo 1y agoThere's boilerplate in Rails too. We move the goal posts for what we define as boilerplate as we better explore and solve a class of problems.
- dymk 1y agoWhat boilerplate is there in rails?
- TheDong 1y agohtml is like 90% boilerplate, and so .html.erb in rails is mostly boilerplate.
- skydhash 1y agoWe have the component architecture pattern to reduce the amount of html we have to write. If you’re duplicating html element in every page, that’s mostly on you. There’s a reason every template language have include statement. That’s a problem that’s been solved for ages.
- yencabulator 1y agoGenerating boilerplate is the worst of both worlds. The point is to not need so much of it.
