The almost complete dominance of the Rails in the Ruby ecosystem seems incredibly unhealthy to me.
IMO, Rails should do what Rails is good at and was designed for (simple, monolithic, server-side heavy web applications), and there should be dozens of other successful Ruby frameworks with other philosophies.
Rails was supposed to be the breakthrough for Ruby, but instead the near monopoly of Rails is suffocating it.
- yellowapple 11y agoIt's especially jarring when the Ruby world - which originally revolved around "Matz is nice so we are nice", emphasizing developer happiness, being a more readable Perl, etc. - now revolves around the "Rails way" as if all other ways are wrong. If I wanted a "There's Only One Way To Do It(TM)" world, I'd be programming in Python, not Ruby.
