I love TypeScript, but Rails has a wonderful ecosystem of libraries that just feels unbeatable for the backend. For some reason (hot take incoming) the JS community seems to hate working with each other and improving existing libraries. The Ruby community seems to rally around improving our libraries (gems) rather than reinventing them every year.

I take it you’ve never tried to install nokogiri?

[Mikeb85]

It's been fine for years now.

I think this joke is five or six years out of date (maybe more?). Nokogiri has been a breeze to install for a long time now.

I used nokogiri in Ruby on Rails in 2015 and since, and have never had a problem installing nokogiri.

Exactly. It did used to be pretty finicky, but yeah I think it was 2015ish that those issues were fixed.
