I worked with Perl's Template::Toolkit for many years and would still recommend it for static site generation. TT3 is the current version.

Oh, THAT FTD. Right.

Seconded.

Tango .... step-by-step. Intentional?

So those little ****ers have been spreading their misery for at least 46 million years. There's no hope for us lot then.

This static-for-everything trend is absurd. Compiling one-off scripts? Give me a break - they're not called scripting languages for nothing.

I'll take Rails over Laravel any day. Verbose, doc-block-riddled, pseudo-Java PHP is the polar opposite of elegant, composable Ruby.

Or Rails/Hotwire.

Yeah, Go's string-handling, coming from Ruby is like time travelling back to the Stone Age.

How I miss Perl and it's acolytes, especially The Damian and Randall Schwartz.

It's not your fault. Spring Boot is a trip to hell compared with Rails.

'Sounds like you need to try Kotlin.

Even that's a bit apples to oranges. Raw Node is very low level so comparable to Rack in Ruby.

by cutler 5y ago
Comparing Rails/Hotwire to plain Node or Express is apples to oranges. Try Next.js or Redwood.

by cutler 5y ago
Yes but Node's built-in async will scale a lot better especially if you're calling 3rd party services.
859.
by cutler 5y ago
Language elegance is not the reason Node is chosen over Ruby. Async and performance is. If I want my app to call a couple of services without using a ton of memory Node is the better option.

For me it's crippled lambda and __dunders__.

Yes, Python is all OO under the hood just like Ruby but ugly as sin.
862.
by cutler 5y ago
How I wish that was a possibility. Unfortunately Python's dominance of ML and AI is a fait accompli. If anything is going to replace Python in this domain it won't be another scripting language with similar performance.

by cutler 5y ago
Yes, that's the Zen of Ruby and why I love it.
864.
by cutler 5y ago
Not really. Python 3 is all OO under the hood including what appear to be procedural functions. It's just not as elegant as Ruby's OO.
865.
by cutler 5y ago
Why not Kotlin as it's arguably closer to Ruby?
866.
by cutler 5y ago
PHP has to be the worst offender with its pseudo-Java boilerplate enshrined in its PSRs. PHP is a perfectly fine procedural language but version 5 was like the Second Coming of Christ with its religious devotion to all things OOP. I don&#x2

The author lives in a self-centered universe in which the virtues of service and responsibility to others count for nothing. Any goal associated with financial ends is reduced to a blind alley which obfuscates "true" goals but the

Is Angular really half the size of React? It was the other way round last time I looked.

Curious - did you use Rails in API mode?

It's funny how we hear so much about Ruby's decline yet 3 of the highest-valued startups - Stripe, Shopify and AirBnB - are up there making fortunes with it whilst contributing to Ruby's vibrant ecosystem.
