Interesting read. Do you recommend a resource to learn rails for the reactjs developer? Seems like only the opposite exist nowadays.
As someone who created their app in Next.js this year, I can tell you the Node.js ecosystem is in absolute shambles. We are making a WYSIWYG / ecommerce platform for authors, so we need the ability to make and preview live changes.
After finishing our MVP with a no-code solution, we decided to move to a custom Next.js app in as little time as possible. Big mistake. I had the urge to dig into Rails but I was much more comfortable in React. That being said, it's been a nightmare dealing with package upgrades, ESM vs CJS, running tests, adding Typescript, etc.
I believe, for example, creating the preview component would have been significantly faster in Rails than Next.js.
Recently we migrated to Next.js v12 for speed improvements. So many roadblocks. It took forever to debug. Again, mostly due to dependency resolution issues.
Blitz.js is supposedly going to be the Rails of JS but there is no way they'll ever have the support that either Next or Rails will receive.
