Is it worth making ruby on rails SDKs anymore if you run a big API? 🤔

I believe ruby is still the most popular language for startups backend development if you factor out python hype which is temporary and wordpress-level development. Even server-side javascript is not very popular if you don’t count API->NextJS(server)->NextJS(client) as server side javascript

But yeah, most likely OpenAPI is enough, at least for 20/80

That is wild to me

Why? There are no better tools yet to manage business logic heavy apps yet, especially that allow for so quick start on a $5 VPS and scale to multi million AWS setup

I think golang does this way better, as a former rails dev from the early 2000s lol

Well I could agree golang does web dev better than ruby-from-2000 :) other than that golang is great for “micro-services”. Luckily, “micro-services” are dying pretty fast lately

Every tool has a use-case, and average startup needs a way to handle complex business rules quickly and long-term

ser this is a nostr. if want ruby on rails you gotta go down the street to mastodon

Yeah, would nostr be ruby, it wouldn’t stuck at 10k users for so long :)

Nostr isn't any language, it's a protocol...

You can build any relay in the language of your choice as long it follows the protocol lol
