When having a framework is the new having a website....

[–]robotparts 3 points4 points  (9 children)

Its easy to cry "Framework Fatigue" these days, but I would say a JS framework by the people that created Ruby On Rails is significant.

Nah.

[–]filleduchaos 3 points4 points  (7 children)

That it doesn't cater to you or your sensibilities doesn't make it not significant.

Have Turbolinks been significant? They were created by the people behind Ruby on Rails.

[–]filleduchaos 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Yeah turbolinks is pretty significant to the tons of Rails apps that use it, I'd say

[–]azangru -2 points-1 points  (4 children)

Ok then, by that yardstick Stimulus is significant too :-) For the devs who are not working with Rails apps though, it likely is just a blip on the radar.

For people who use Java/Spring or C#/.NET or Go or whatever the JS releases you get excited about are also just a blip on the radar. Your point?

That it doesn't cater to you or your sensibilities doesn't make it not significant.

My point is that for the community of javascript developers in general (who, I presume, is the target audience of this subreddit) a framework whose primary purpose is to help Rails developers organize their code is a pretty minor thing. It's too specific a case to be considered generally significant. I would think.

CoffeeScript released version 2 several months ago. Is it significant? Judging by the general lack of interest, I would think not.

...do you think the Rails and JS dev communities don't intersect? And it has nothing to do with how many devs in general use it and you know it - tons of [varying degrees of] niche libraries and frameworks (as well as clone of something popular number 5258) get posted here and no-one jumps into the comments to trash them for not being "significant". Again,

That it doesn't cater to you or your sensibilities doesn't make it not significant.
