The whole point of rails is not to build massive projects. If you're building massive projects with thousands of classes on rails then you should be all means switch to J2EE.
- cglee 14y agoThis needs to be repeated over and over. We see so many pundits pushing the "right" way to build Rails applications now. Rails was a reaction against large applications. The major use case is to build CRUDs in front of a db. If your application out grows Rails, it's not a condemnation about Rails, or your team, or an earlier choice. If you're Twitter or Facebook, don’t use Rails out of the box. For the rest of us who want to work on small applications, Rails is still beautiful. And when I say small, I mean applications around the complexity of a Basecamp or Github.
- fleitz 14y agoFully agree, the next boogey man against rails is performance which again is quite a silly argument when you have customers and servers cost $5 / month.
