I went from a full stack typescript project to a rails project and honestly I hate it.

The Ruby language is great if you want to jerk off about how concise your code is but programmers end up creating overly abstract, write-only code.

There’s so much magic that it’s hard to trace the code to see where stuff comes from.

Abstractions are over-engineered. Serializers should be simple, async functions that are easy to step through and debug. Instead you have serializer relations? Delegates, etc.

Don’t even get me started on updating rails itself. It’s a massive pain every time and you quite often see projects that are multiple major versions behind.

In typescript it’s common to integrate multiple independent libraries into your own framework. This is great because if I need to update my database library I can focus on that specific part of the code. Updating rails means everything could potentially break.

Oh and there’s no type system so good luck.
