im always surprised that Rails is still relevant

i havent used it since 2006 opting for php and django

i might give it another shot, any reason you like this more than django or other frameworks

In general, I like it for the speed. I can build an MVP in less than a weekend using Rails, Rails UI, and some AI for some one-shot copy and random repetitive stuff.

Under the hood, I like the Rails conventions and Ruby's beauty.

I guess it depends if you are used to Rails.

Personally, I don't see the point in ever touching rails since bunjs gives me everything I need while being faster and typescript compatible.

Ruby does look pretty, but that's it.

Is there any benefit that would justify giving it a try if you already use typescript?
