Fully agree on templates but I use Phlex to build UIs with pure Ruby on the server side. A pleasure to work with. And with something like Datastar, reactive UIs with practically no js.
I really don't like Hotwire and FE history (I'm playing with htmx, Datastar, Phlex and love it) but the ActiveSupport autoloader -> to Zeitwerk migration was pretty much something in the background, an implementation detail, at least in my experience. Most devs don't even know what is all this about.
I like it, specially the Phlex choice. I'd like to know if this framework would work nicely with Datastar js library and its extensive SSE usage. Thanks
Heroku is still good for tons of stuff. After Salesforce bought it, it stopped getting much better, they removed part of free quota, some add-ons disappeared, and the like. For example, http2 support just went beta on may. It's a shame.
Love the Shopify effort on the LSP, I even reported issues. But, no, it's not stable or easy to setup unless you use it on specific scenarios. Also I have very high cpu usage nas crashes every day.
Alternatively, you can use Crystal instead of Go. Its syntax is almost Ruby one, except mostly for some typing. Standard library is also similar. Binary size and speed is also go-like
...and let's not forget that performance could be improved in newer versions so it's a bit tricky to say that A is faster than B, period.
Particularly, in this new 3.1 version there is a new JIT (YJIT from Shopify guys) that shows up to 22% on railsbench, 39% on liquid-render.
And there are alternative implementations like JRuby or GraalVM with diff. in performance.
no exactly the same as js->ts but Crystal language in a typed, compiled lang. with Ruby like syntax but other nice features like Go like concurrency & speed, macros, great C interop. and they are working on an interpreter, too.
I can't stand laptop with numerical keyboards. These keys are a waste of space and moves the rest of the keys & trackpad to the left making hands position not aligned with the center of the device.
There is an interpreter VM in progress, check asterite progress in the asterite:repl branch . Very cool addition. It was announce in the virtual conference last month. Check that video, too.
