Not Anti Rails
This isn't an anti rails talk. I just think there is more to Ruby than just rails.
What comes to mind then?
Sinatra
Padrino
Jekyll
Grape
Cuba
Camping
What, no frameworks?
What if I told you that...
You don't have to use a fecking framework!
What I use Ruby for
- CSV Parser
- Task management
- Static Generator
- ActiveRecord
- Building libs for a legacy system
I also use Ruby for...
- Prototyping (jekyll)
- API Creation (grape)
- Sys Admin scripts
I only use Rails
- When I have a clear defention of success
- My other team members are happy with the choice
- Convention over configuration makes sense
- New code base
Is there much sense in not using Rails?
- No (simples)
