| I can't recall ever hearing anyone say they "hate Ruby". Ruby is designed to make programmers happy. Ruby and Rails are "boring" because they are mature and do their job extremely well, so the cutting-edge devs that helped get them there got bored and moved on to other newer ecosystems. If you are more interested in getting the project done fast and efficiently and you don't mind doing it someone else's way, then RoR is a good choice. If you like to do things your own way, then Rails will probably frustrate you because it is very opinionated on how things are done. You can override everything, but some people's personality is more suited for the node.js world that is far less of a framework and more of an ecosystem of libraries. These are 2 popular posts that will help you figure out if RoR is a personality fit for you: http://david.heinemeierhansson.com/2012/rails-is-omakase.htm... https://medium.com/@timbuchwaldt/rails-is-boring-thats-great... |
