One issue I had with Ruby on Rails was getting MySQL drivers to even cooperate on both Windows and Linux. At the end of the day I wound up sticking to Python and other languages instead. I don&#x27;t mind using any language, but if the language is fighting me due to native dependency hell then I can&#x27;t really do much. Even to just use SQLite was a bit of a painful experience, yet on Python SQLite works out of the box without any effort on my part (on Windows). Oddly enough.<p>I&#x27;m looking to getting back into Ruby at some point later this year, but I might ignore Rails altogether so I don&#x27;t miss out on learning a new fun language.
