What Hacker News says?
There's a Ruby port of the first article you linked as well. Feature-wise they're about the same, but if you (like me) enjoy Ruby more than Python it's worth reading both articles: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43984860 https://radanskoric.com/articles/coding-agent-in-ruby

HN discussionSo I've used Turbo 8 to make a multiplayer app using a non rails backend. It was a struggle, the docs are incomplete. I mostly pieced things together from what others have done and written about. Which, is ironic considering your point about having a massive community behind it. The nice thing about Turbo 8 is morph (it uses idiomorph like datastar). It's also got a pretty simple refresh model. However, you quickly…

HN discussionSome time ago I was wondering the same thing and did a little experiment: https://radanskoric.com/experiments/experiment-gradual-typin... My take on typing and Ruby is that it makes sense in specific parts of the code where you expect to get high benefit from it. Overall, I don't like using types for the whole project. The reason is that you end up losing some specific Ruby benefits, like being able to express the s…

HN discussionAuthor here. I didn't mention it because I wasn't writing an evaluation of fixtures. Just writing about how to make better use of fixtures. I actually use both fixtures and factories depending on the project specifics and also whether it is even my decision to make. :) Personally, I even slightly prefer to use Factories and I also previously wrote about a better way to use them: https://radanskoric.com/articles/test…

HN discussionAuthor here. I'm a big fan of factories but the slowness is a real drag on large test suites. If you're considering switching, remember that you can do it gradually, there's no law against using both fixtures and factories in the same project, in some cases (mostly on very complex domain data models) even makes sense: fixtures for the base setup that all tests share, factories for additional test specific records. B…
