| > Rails dev for 7 years now but I just don't see it winning over TypeScript/nodejs frameworks I think you're comparing a language/runtime with a framework here. I also prefer Node and JavaScript over Ruby but I get what you say, and I agree. I think Adonisjs ticks all the boxes to be that framework in the future. It just doesn't have the community it needs to be 100% successful yet... with more adoption it will get all the missing features, documentation and little annoyances it might have today polished. But something I'm worried about is if that the fragmentation is just too big at this point. I don't see people agreeing on a single "full stack" framework as it happened in other environments. I think this happens because most other "big frameworks" were born when there were not that much competition and not that many people on their ecosystems, so there were a lot fewer options and people concentrated around those frameworks and made them grow to what they are today (Laravel, Rails, Django, Spring...). The "backend JavaScript" ecosystem is a freaking mess. So many competing options, all of them terribly incomplete, all of them claiming to be "full stack" just because they can execute JavaScript on the server... yes, maybe "full stack" but without the battery... it's a lamborghini that you have to put together yourself before being able to use it. |
