Looking at the long, long list of Gems required by Rails these days, makes it look less like a framework, and more like a patchwork. Complete with holes of course.
- steveklabnik 14y agoThis kind of snark is not very constructive. I see your account is two days old, and it's basically done nothing but talk shit on Rails.
- static_typed 14y agoWhilst correct that my account is recent, I don't think the comments are really 'talk shit on Rails' - rather they point out the numerous serious security issues with Rails, Ruby Yaml libraries, and ecosystem in general have forced our hand to migrate away from Ruby onto pastures new. We actually have been using Rails internally and externally since 0.13, followed it through the Engines clash, watched the Github hack, and have been caught up like everyone else in the rapid update cycles due to the security issues. But there comes a time to sit back, consider if software engineering are two dirty words in the Ruby community, and move on.

- static_typed 14y agoIs Troll Ruby slang for someone who just got fed up being called into IT Security meetings to report on yet another urgent change to Prod being required because, the Ruby guys just love sticking Yaml parsers in wherever they can, and the world now knows about it, and we have to leap into action yet again?
- Argorak 14y agoEver tried to install a semi-decent framework from cabal or maven?
- X-Istence 14y agoForget the framework ... maven itself will download all kinds of plugins and deployment tools before even downloading the framework. I've never before seen a build tool hit so many servers before even doing real work -- until maven.
- Argorak 14y agoMy personal maven moment was when I did a "mvn clean" on a train ride - and it failed, because it had to lazy-load 'mvn-clean-plugin' (5kb).
