Sounds like you guys pulled out everything except for Express. I too found the more I used Sails the less useful it became, as though it was missing a solution for anything lying outside of the very basics. Compare Sails to say, Laravel, and you begin to see how much work needs to be put in to bring it up to date.
- merb 11y agoThat happens with every Framework. That's why we migrated from Django to Playframework. Django is great, except for the thing we do / the expertise I / we have. Play framework is way more "raw" than the most of the framework's I've seen. Also I use Slick but only the SQL part of it and the Codegen. It's so great to write RAW Sql while persisting objects easily and type safe without a big layer in between.
- lmm 11y agoTo my mind, and as a spray user, play is still huge and does too much.
- merb 11y agoYou are correct Playframework still does too much for the most people, however we are using a lot of things from the framework, basically json, forms, templates, the new DI layer, the ws library (which still is not usable on spray :(:() and the plugin layer. Mostly I think we could easily switch to Spray, however currently I really liked Play in his current version.
