Some people find that RoR is better than what they are used to, but it certainly is not the best there is! I do not like it for the reasons which are stated in my article. Do you have any response to those criticisms, something more than "Ruby on Rails is COOL"?
If you don't see why Radicore has capabilities of building a powerful web application then you obviously haven't read much. Radicore comes with the following built in:
- a dynamic menu system
- a role based access control system
- an audit logging system
- an activity based workflow engine
What does RoR have in comparison?
Also, Radicore is a true RAD environment based on transaction patterns which make use of the following:
- all Views are provided as pre-built reusable XSL stylesheets
- all Controllers are provided as pre-built and reusable scripts
- all Models are custom made, but the initial code is automatically generated from the Data Dictionary. This takes cae of any data validation and communication with the database. All the programmer has to do is write the code for all the business rules.
This means that it is possible to create working transactions without writing a single line of HTML or SQL.
Does RoR have that amount of reusable code?
When you say "Much of it (my demo application) is kinda rubbish" what exactly do you mean? Can you be more specific?
Do I think you are biased? Most definitely.
