Posted in Should I switch to RoR from Laravel?

I did Laravel for 2.5 years and had similar worries. I stopped using it for a year because I got handed a pretty weird Node and React JS project in my new job. I missed programming by convention and the MVC framework way of doing things. A few months ago I got the chance to hire more people to the dev team (which was only me). We decided that we needed to take a different route to build what the company needed. One of the guys was pretty familiar with Jumpstart and RoR and since I knew MVC we decided to use RoR for the new project. I’ve started using RoR at end of December 2020 and so far I’ve been loving it, it wasn’t a hard transition since I knew the way things worked but of course the syntax was different. Got to say that the team synergy and the involvement with the Go Rails community had help us a lot throughout the project while figuring stuff out. We had the chance to attend to Railsconf 2021 and the future of RoR seems pretty bright. That has been my experience so far.
