Neya on switching back to Rails

Published on by

neya on switching back to Rails:

There was a time when I used to advocate my fellow folks here at HN (and possibly even reddit) to go for a framework built on faster languages like GoLang or Scala or even using platforms like Node.js and avoid slower ones like Rails. Now, it’s time for me to apologize to the community for giving you wrong advice [1]. Turns out I could never have been more wrong.

and later:

The point is, ultimately you want to run a successful business. And if you’re worried if the slowness of your language will hinder its growth, then nope. That will not happen. I hope this helps someone.

To me speed and enjoyment of development always outweighs the speed of the framework.
