Learning Ruby: Things I Like, Things I Miss from Python
I would love to find an MVC framework with the extense library support of Rails but for Javascript. Being able to simply `gem 'devise'` and have full authentication at your hands (including views, email templates, etc) is a godsend.<p>At many places where I've worked at this paradigm is exactly what is needed, but people know and want to use JS. If we choose to go that way then, we need to write a lot of glue code and think about setting up architecture standards, folder and naming conventions, ORM support, authentication, job queues, etc; all of this comes by default with Rails and makes life so much easier.<p>Lately some options seem to be gaining steam:<p>* RedwoodJS [1]: by Tom Preston-Werner (founder of Github), comes with React and GraphQL baked in, pretty new project though<p>* Next.js [2]: brings a lot of nice conventions to the frontend, but still some things missing on the backend side<p>* SailsJS [3]: similar to Rails, but small community<p>* Strapi [4], hapi [5] et al: plenty of backend functionality, but frontend agnostic.<p>Has anybody had experience with any of these (or others) and can report back?<p>[1] - <a href="https://redwoodjs.com/" rel="nofollow">https://redwoodjs.com/</a><p>[2] - <a href="https://nextjs.org/" rel="nofollow">https://nextjs.org/</a><p>[3] - <a href="https://sailsjs.com/" rel="nofollow">https://sailsjs.com/</a><p>[4] - <a href="https://strapi.io/" rel="nofollow">https://strapi.io/</a><p>[5] - <a href="https://hapi.dev/" rel="nofollow">https://hapi.dev/</a>
