As someone who spent 15+ years doing Ruby/Rails, it’s nice to see this land.
That said, these days you’ll pry the BEAM from my cold, dead hands. It’s hard to go back to any other concurrency story.
- thunderbong 2mo agoWhat's BEAM?
- teraflop 2mo agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BEAM_(Erlang_virtual_machine) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BEAM_(Erlang_virtual_machine)
- thibaut_barrere 2mo agoSame path & agreed. The amount of things you do not have to care about with BEAM/Elixir compared to Rails is really interesting.
- robertfall 2mo agoI’m really curious about this as someone that has never tried Elixir/BEAM. What could I stop caring about?
- ksec 2mo ago>BEAM/Elixir compared to Rails Compared to Ruby. Elixir land doesn't have something similar to Rails, and phoenix is not it.
- QGQBGdeZREunxLe 2mo agoWhat do you think is missing from Phoenix that you have in Rails?
- bingemaker 2mo agoEcosystem?
- jdkoeck 2mo agoFascist leadership?
- winterbloom 2mo agolemme guess, you are anti-israel as well
- ajx1001 2mo agoIronically, looking into Ruby Fiber led me to BEAM/Elixir. You are right, there is no going back!
- tt_dev 2mo agoHow has agentic coding been with rails? What has your experience been like? Took me sometime to get used to the magic imports and metaclasses (ruby I know not rails). Curious how well llms navigate this
- adriand 2mo agoNot the OP, but I’m doing a ton of it and it works great. I had to decide what to use for my startup and for a few years I’d stopped using Rails. I considered using full stack node/Typescript/etc but Rails just comes with so much stuff that makes it so easy to build things. Solid Queue is one of those things, my whole data process architecture is based on async jobs and it’s really cool to have something that is native to the platform and has no dependencies beyond Postgres which I’m already using anyway.
